which bow to buy for the g/f

[mikeboehm]

my girlfriend will not go hunting at all. she wouldnt mind getting into archery. so im thinking about buying her, her first bow. any recommendations. i was looking at the diamond infinite edge in pink blaze. the reviews are pretty good on them. any others

My wife shoots that exact bow... They are fantastic for newbie archers.. Very adjustable... fast and pretty quiet.. She has had hers just over a year now and already got a robin hood...

Look into an Elite Spirit.

Why look into a $900 bare bones bow for a new archer... What happens if she doesnt like it! Thats a lot of money spent.. The Infinite edge for the price is a better choice.. If she doesnt like it you can still get most of your money back outta the bow...

Try the diamond (note sure model) but it is adjustable from 5-70 lbs. My son uses it and shoot very well. I think it is $350 comes with sights, and quiver

Whatever bow you get her make sure it comes with a g string.

McMullmar is talking about the same bow... Diamond Infinite Edge...

I shoot the exact bow you're talking about Mike. Same one that I had at the new hunter course.

My daughter has the Infinite Edge as well.

If your G/F decides to take it to the next level, the bow can easily be sold since it is so adjustable. If she doesn't take it to the next level, the loss won't be as much.

My wife had the Infinite edge as well. It was good for what it was for sure. The OP didn't mention his budget and the Spirit can be had for closer to $700 and would EASILY be sold for very near that if you ever wanted to. The Spirit is about twice the price of the Infinite Edge but IMO is about 3 times the bow. It is definitely true that you need to know her true draw length because the adjustability isn't there like it is with the Diamond but on the bright side I highly doubt your g/f is still growing.

Just throwing options out there.
