Bow for wife

huntingman · Sep 17, 2007

Just wanted some insight on what bow to get my wife. I love shooting mathews. I was thinking of getting the mathews ignition. It will be 40-50lbs and 24 inch draw. Any one have any suggestions?

The Bowtech Equalizer is another great bow for shorter draw lengths. I think it has a 40-50# or 50-60# draw weight. It's pretty fast too for a low poundage bow.

My wife shoots a Mathews Mustang. The Bowtech Equilizer and the ignition are also great bows.

I know you said you like the Mathews, but I just got my wife a Hoyt Trykon Sport, and it is a sweet bow! Not too bad on price either. I think for just the bow was a little over $300. You might want to check it out.

The biggest problem with a bow for the wife is getting it too heavy. Most women of smaller stature have a hard time holding a fully rigged bow up steady for the shot. I would look at the lightest bows you could.

With that said. My buddy bought his wife the ignition and she shot a 3x3 blacktail with it this year. My wife shoots a martin leopard. She liked it over the ignition. Both bows are around $329 out here. So I would definetly let her shoot a bunch of bows.

I think the equalizer is heads and shoulders above the rest, but you pay for it.
