Hi Ladies,
It seems most people on this board are compound bow shooters, I am one too, but our range has a traditional shoot every year and I am looking into getting a one piece recurve bow. Does anyone have the Samick shb bow or the Martin x-200 bow, and what do you think of them. These bows are probably made for males and I'm concerned the handles might be too wide.
My draw length is 24.5 inches and I'll probably get a 30 to 35 lb draw weight.

Thanks for your replies. Hogdgz, I have also heard that the Martin x-200 grip is a good fit for women. The price seemed to have gone up fast, it's like we are paying for the manufacturer's healthcare plan or something. Perhaps later on I can get it. Hoytmuzzyscott, sorry your Martin x-150 broke on you, what a disappointment. There have been quite a few stories on these boards about bows breaking and I'm not sure what to think. Thanks for the info.
