Top Rated Compound Bows for Women
Lets take a look at the differences between men and women's #compound #bows and the variations that will be necessary to consider.
Power
Power – or how strong a woman is, when compared to a man – is the first that we could debate. I am stronger than many guys I know, and others fellas are a whole lot stronger than me. It’s pretty relative, and quite frankly with some time with weights most women can approximate the strength of an average man. If you're going to do any big game hunting you'll be needing to hit the gym to gain strength to pull the back a 50 -70 lb draw weight.
Stamina
The average woman has less stamina (that is, the ability to endure physical effort for extended periods of time) than the average male. Anyone who’s been hunting, target shooting, or shooting a course knows that archery can be exhausting.
I say, “foul” because that’s a load of horse manure. And even if it wasn’t, any woman can increase her stamina to maintain the requirements. We can talk more about how ladies lack stamina after YOU spend 14 hours in labor…
Size
On average, men are taller than women. That converts to longer arms. In archery terms, we’re talking about draw length. And while there’s a lot a woman can do – even they can’t make their own arms longer. When armed with a custom bow, specifically set to their requirements, there’s virtually no difference in the woods or on the range between men and women. Like rifle or pistol shooting, archery is truly a level field for anyone.
Luckily, manufacturers have listened to the feedback, and over the years quality lines of ladies’ bows have surged to the forefront of archery and sports shops.
Best Compound Bows for Women
Diamond Archery Infinite Edge Pro Bow Package – Best Women’s Compound Bow
Overview: Out of the box, this is probably one of the most field-adjustable bows on the market. Perfect for women or young archers ready for a serious bow, the Infinite Edge is available left or right hand and features the Mossy Oak ® Camo pattern.
SAS Rage Compound Bow
Overview: I hadn’t heard much about this particular manufacturer, so it seemed like a good excuse to review the product. Pulling the SAS Rage out of the box, I noticed two things, simultaneously.
Genesis Original Kit – Best Compound Bow for Beginners
Overview:The overall look and feel is exactly what I would expect from a product that is the official bow of the NASP® (National Archery in the Schools Program). It’s a no-frills, basic bow for learning. The wide draw range and light draw weight are ideal for learners of any age – male or female – and adjustments are easy.
Quest Radical Right/Left Hand Package – Best Ladies Bow for Advanced Archers
Overview: The Quest Radical is another bow that bridges the gap from young novice to intermediate archer. Accentuated by a wide range for draw length as well as draw weight, the Quest allows the user to progress without the need for changing bows – and the 70 pound draw weight could easily translate into a first deer drop.
Diamond by Bowtech Core – Best Women’s Hunting Bow
Overview: When I ordered the Bowtech Core, I knew this puppy is built for speed. And I wasn’t disappointed. With quality construction that is to be expected from Bowtech, they managed to balance and distribute some of the massive weight – over 5 pounds of it. The limited adjustment in the draw length and the generous axle length herald this as a bow that means business.
