I feel odd asking questions about archery on a firearms site. My youngest daughter; who loves to shoot my .22's, tells me she does not like shooting the H&R in .243 that I got for her (glad my other daughter likes it), to go hunting with.

So.. she expresses the idea of bow hunting.

So, is there a short draw (20"-24") low draw wt. (15-25 #'s), bow out there that is suited for hunting? Or am I asking for trouble finding something that is under powered, under speed?

Or do I drop the money on a cross bow? Not that I wanted to spend my next months rent on something she will use for a few seasons.

Thanks for the input,
Shawn
