RE: starter bow

well, im sure everyone has their own opinions, but I bought a Bear Element a few years back (maybe 2...) and it was real inexpensive and it shoots fantastic. Its all about gettin a bow that fits you.. try a bunch of them out at your local achery shops.. I wouldnt get to caught up into names and this or that. just find one thats comfy for yaa... sorry its not real specific, but you really just need to get out and find one that fits you.

x2 - This is avery good advice. Shoot every bow you can that is in your price range. Each bow feels a bit different in the hand and everyone prefers something different. I'd recommend finding a shop that has a good selection of different bows, that way you can shoot a few of them head-to-head to really give them a good comparison. Good luck with the search and be sure to post pics once you bring her home!
