Good bow for my wife

[IdahoElk]

My wife wants to get back into archery hunting, Me shooting trad for the last 30yrs know nothing about current compounds for women.
Any advice on a bow for 24-25" draw length and around 50lb's would be appreciated.

I'd look at something like a Mathews Prima. I'd recommend a shorter brace height bow - women have smaller hands, wrists, etc and a 5.5" brace is the equivalent in my mind of 6.5" brace for a larger archer. It's like having a 1" longer draw in speeds.

The new PRIMA™ is a light, compact and versatile women’s compound bow weighing only 3.93 pounds. Creating an unmatched archery experience.

That said, new bows are about to come out in the next month and a half. I'd probably weight around for that. Either get a 24 bow for less or a new model 25 bow.

My wife shoots a bowtech. It’s the first gen Eva Shockey one. She really likes it!

If you want her to really like it, let her choose. In my limited experience (with only one wife... but observing lots of them), I'd say wives have a tendency to like things that they pick out more than things that are picked out for them. YMMV

I’ll echo what others have said. Let her try as many different as possible. Honestly anymore any brand makes good bow. I wouldn’t discount anything you can get in her draw weight/buy limbs for.
