My wife shoots the Browning MicroMidas. I know there are quite a few women who shoot the hoyt youth bows also(trykon sport, etc...)
Glad to hear she's interested. MOST of the time it's nice to be able to have them (wife) shoot with ya.

I jut got Amanda a new bow. She is now shooting a short draw AR and it is sweet! Browning makes some great bows and PSE has some nice ones as well. The Short draw diablo is an amazing bow! There are a ton of great lines for her to choose from!
Amanda went from the Micro Midas to the Short draw for increased poundage. But they are extremely light and very forgiving! Parker also has a few nice lines for women, and we have a nice used Alpine in stock too!!!
A lot of it is feel, and expense. Depending on what amount of money you want to spend there are a ton of different options!

So does mine. She shoots a Vectrix and has a short draw length(25" or 26" I can't remember) and is hard to fit in the upper end high performance line of bows. We have to twist the string a couple of twists to shorten it up. The Bowtech Equalizer is an excellent womans/short draw bow. The industry doesn't offer a lot of high performance bows for women or youths with short draws and lighter poundage bows to fit their needs and wants.

bowtech mirranda, was their womens/youth bow, look for one of those one ebay/AT. lots of the newer bows have a wide range of draw weights that would probably fit most women (depending on what they can comfortably pull) equalizer goes down to 29# and 24-27 1/2" draw. i would take her to a shop, see how many pounds she can comfortably pull, and hold. check her draw length, and see what bows are available. that equalizer has limbs that run 29-49-50-60.
looks like every bow hoyt makes goes can be had with 40 pound limbs, except for the selena, it goes down to 30, and the trykon sport, it goes down to 20.
those are the only 2 catalogs i have here. a cabelas catalog will have the specs on the browning micro bows,

when you go to the shops, let her find something that feels good. if she doesn't plan to hunt, show her the target colors.
chicks dig color schemes, let her pick out fletching colors, wrap colors. keep her involved in the whole process, so she feels its as much her project as possible, and not something she is getting pushed into

Already ahead of you on all of that stuff, I just want to know what models other gals are using, that's the point of the post.

What are good starter bows for a petite lady to learn with?

C'mon Muddy, you're among friends here, you can be straight with us and we won't make any wise cracks. Are you having trouble handling a full grown man bow?
I here there's some really cute colors coming out this fall. Whatever you do, make sure to have your skin tones analyzed before selecting a color. If you're not in a big rush, rumor has it that the winter collection is ADORABLE!
Hope this helps!
