im 19 got a 17 year old girlfireind, i have 3 bows but all to much for her to pull back. shes a tiny thing, any ideas of a good cheap inexpensive bow? would a mathews genesis be enough poundage to penetrate through the fish? mostly shooting commons, gar, bowfin, cats, buffalo/

yea outlaw belive it or not that is 1 badass lil bow.....my 10 yr ol has got 1 and it will flatout stick a fish 2 the bottom..they say it shoot equiv 2 a 30lb recurve,,,,he has shot many many gar wth it !! very good investment

First would be the Darton Ranger X in the Muddy Girl pattern and its 209.99 new bare bow right from Dartons web site. The other is Barnett Vortex you can find for 139.99 with a modest bowfishing package.

Wait a minute I believe we all here at this form would be able to make a much better suggestions if you were to post pics of your girlfriend.

You could pick a an older pse team Fitzgerald (what my girl shoots) or a browning micro Midas, you won't break the bank with either of those and they work great for fishing.

My wife is getting along great with her Diamond Infinite Edge, 5 to 70 lbs and 75 precent let off.

I concur that this is probably the "best" bow for beginners and females - but - its not a cheap bow so unless they are committed to staying with archery, it might not be a first choice. They are awesome though. And if commited to archery I dont think you can go better than this.,
