    I am planning on buying a bow for my girlfriend for Christmas. I'm bidding on a pink camo Diamond Razor Edge because it has a huge range of draw weights and lengths. Any of you guys have any ideas for other good bows that will last a while and can be very adjustable. Thanks

    No other bow is as versatile as the Razor Edge when it comes to adjust ability.

    The bow also packs a pretty solid punch in the performance department making it an excellent bow to build muscle, learn to shoot with and then head to the woods with once shooting proficiency has been achieved.

    Treat her just like you'd treat yourself. Take her to a bow shop and let her shoot some. Several bows come in pink/pink camo... lol.. I'm sure she'd love one of those.. at least if she's anything like mine.

    I shoot the Diamond Razor Edge and I love it so far. This is the first bow I have had and feel comfortable with it every time I shoot or get up in the tree. I did shoot the Passion at a show and loved it. Once I get a few deer under my belt, that will be my next progression. You can't go wrong with the Diamond to start!!
