my wife is small, shes 5'1'' and about 110lbs at the most. so i spent a lot of time looking at small frame/kids bows to find one that would fit her, and i finally decided on the Hoyt Ruckus. it seems to be the easiest to adjust for draw length and weight. and with 18-28" of adjustment i should be able to get it perfect for her. she was talking about hunting more next year, and i decided this would be the perfect way to get her more motivated about it. below is a picture of her new bow next to mine. so, what do you guys think? good decision?
Good decision! Now you can get her into bowhunting a lot, and buying targets and stuff should be easier to swing... because "WE" need to practice for the upcoming season
well, its not getting her into it, shes been shooting bows since she was real little, and has been hunting for a while too. but over the past few years or so she hasnt had a chance to. she deployed to iraq the same time i did, and then we had two kids, those things tend to get in the way. so its more about getting her back into it.
Does she like the bow? Oh... Yes she does? Okay then. Good decision. Good luck and congrats to her and you.
well, maybe i should have said in my first post that she doesnt know about either of the bows in that picture. theyre both going to be a surprise next time i go home. im stationed in new jersey and she lives at home in upstate ny with the kids. so i actually have no idea what she thinks about them yet.
If she likes surprises like that you're onto a winner. If she don't you're in deep doo-doo. Good choice for a bow for her. I bought the cook a Matthews Menace a while back cos' I wanted more of her company in the bush but it hasn't worked out that way. With it's massive draw length and draw weight adjustment it has become a great teaching aid for the kids(4 girls). It certainly spits out those arrows with some venom. Good luck.
Thats a nice bow , I'm after something for my G/F ...... who just happens to be about 5,1" so I'll be taking a look at this bow
I too am in the market for a bow for my girlfriend. She is a little taller and only weighs 115. I know ill never get her hunting, she might sit with me one day, but I know she'd shoot targets with me so I'm okay with that. She held and drew back the mission menace and liked that. But I need to do some more research. In the end a great excuse for me to set up a 3d range! Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
after i bought it i went and looked at all the other top names, and this one seems to be the most adjustable and about the best priced for what you get. i got the bare bow for well under 300. i could have gotten the whole package deal for a little over 300, but i already had a bunch of stuff ive never used that i could put on it, and i figured the stuff that comes in the package would be less than top shelf. so i just went ahead and put what i had on it. i would highly suggest this bow for anyone who is small framed, be it wife girlfriend or child, and it could grow with a kid.
Awww Crap! And I thought somebody had found a place to git an even trade for their wives on a new bow.
