Budget bow setup for female

Fiancé (no pics) is interested in archery as a hobby and eventually wants to try and bow hunt. I personally haven’t dove into bow hunting (so frickin hot and mosquitos piss me off)
She’s 5’6” and pretty strong so an adjustable draw weight would be nice. Help me out!

If you are in Baton Rouge, go see Ken at Gotham! He is phenomenal and will not try to oversell you!

Some of these bow packages they sell are great. Especially since you can make so many adjustments so easily now. I started out with a Diamond Edge years ago.

Are you trying to do it as a present? I would buy a used bow first personally.
Does she have somewhere to shoot? The hardest thing about bow hunting is having somewhere to shoot. If you have an easy place to shoot like a range close to home or a huge backyard, shooting a bow is fun as hell. If you don't have a good place to shoot, its very difficult to be a bowhunter, you really should be shooting a couple days a week.
I have no clue on women's bows at all, but there's plenty of options most likely. In regards to draw weight, most bows can be adjusted slightly.

+1 for Gotham. Ken and Heather are awesome.

If you are in the BR area I have a very slightly used Mathews Mission Craze, pink camo bow that my daughter doesn't use. $200

Most chicks won’t go practice. Adult women have shite to do.
If he’s just trying to get her set up to, at minimum, have the tools to make bow hunts together and have the option to hunt from separate stands so she can get her first bow kill all by herself the best way to get rolling is by just drawing and holding a few times a day and learning to control her breathing.

That's what I'm saying though, he said he doesn't bow hunt. So I'm not sure where this is coming from, but he really should talk to her about it. She needs a place to practice, especially since it won't be with him. She would need either a target or a range. For some people that's super easy, for others it is very difficult.

30 minutes a day will do it
