In the market for a new bow for my wife. Looking for some advise here since the local bow shops haven't been real helpful. My tuning skills are severely lacking so I rely on the shops for all work other than building arrows and bolting things on.
Background- she currently shoots a bear finesse women's bow that's maxes out at 50lbs. It's out of tune and none of the shops here have been able to get it shooting great. Looking to upgrade both quality and draw weight.
Brand- I have a mathews and really like it but iv'e been told that they are more difficult to tune. ( i have no idea if this is true) The two shops in town are hoyt pro shops so leaning towards hoyt just to make it easier. ( open to other brands as well) I'm not looking for a women's specific bow but not ruling it out.
Specs- 50-60 lb. Looking for a used bow so maybe a 2016-2018 model. Doesn't have to be super fast, actually looking for a bit more brace height for some forgiveness. Looking for axle to axle that will be a nice shooting bow but not to big for a 5'4" female. Budget is 500-800 for a bare bow.
I know it's a lot to ask but does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
