That or a Diamond Razors Edge. I'm using my sons this season, and it's holding it's own. You can get them ready to shoot for three hundred and change. Just make sure her draw length is right (wingspan/2.5 is a good starting point). A bit short is better than too long. String slap sucks.

This is a decent starter recurve. The Samick Spikeman is a decent entry-level single-piece recurve; PSE sells it as the Blackhawk. |

Is she wanting to bowhunt or just shoot for fun? My 11y.o. son has a Mission Menace, and it does quite well for him (left-handed, too), but since he is growing, I would like to move him to a bow that has more than a 50lbs max draw weight so he can keep using it in high school and adulthood. I'm thinking of a Diamond Razor Edge for him since it will go to 60# and he can use it until he is able to buy his own bow. If I can talk him into it, this lefty Menace might be for sale.

Just for fun. She has no qualms butchering animals (wore her HSUS shirt the last time we slaughtered chickens  ). She's just not big into hunting. And the older I get (also a southpaw) the less hunting I do myself. So.... mostly for targets.

BEFORE YOU BUY A LEFTY BOW...... check her eye dominance!!! She very well could be right eye dominant!!! I've helped train a few archers thru the years, and some were lefties, all were cross dominant!!!

Quoted: In that case, I'd be inclined to suggest a take-down recurve with two sets of limbs. 35lbs for targets, 45lbs for hunting, should she get the itch to do it.

PSE just came out with a new youth to adult bow (PSE Rally) that goes from15-50, 18-60 or 20-70 pounds depending on what you want your max poundage to be and 18-31 inches drawlength at a pretty good price 299.00.

Well, here in Arkansas 40lbs is the minimum legal draw weight for hunting. |
