Looking for advise when purchasing my daughters new bow for christmas.
I would like to get her a bow that will allow us to change the draw length and weight easily to acomodate for her growing and getting stronger.  Also any advise on releases and other assesories would be great.

We were at the proshop in delano in Nov. and she was able to easily pull 35 pounds.  She is a swimmer and is pretty athletic.

My son started with a Browning Micro Adreneline......It adjusts to 28" and 50 lbs He got his first deer with it last year. Kind of spendy but a nice bow.

That was the one she liked the most.

What about type of releases to get and ones to stay away from?

You can not go wrong with the Bowtech Soldier or a few $$ cheaper go with the Diamond Razor Edge. Very, very nice and adjustable bows.

I got my girlriend a Mission Menace Before the season started. What I thought was real nice about it is you can adjust the draw lenght with out a bow press which would be some thing that would work for you since chances are she aint done growing yet

I must admit its a pretty good bow for a Matthews brand I did like that you can change the draw length with out a bow press it will be a back up for yourself thats the reason I let her get it

Fully adjustable draw length from 24 to 30 inches, 30 to 60 on the poundage.  :happy1:
