Abndoc Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well my youngest son got his first bow today, which then started a conversion with my wife about her getting one. She will never hunt, but I thought she would never try this, so who knows, but wants to shoot with us in the yard and would be open to the idea of us getting in a league if she enjoys it. Does anyone have a craze, shot one? or can give me any feedback other then just asking at the local archery store. I like the idea of this bow, because if she decides its not for her, my 9 yr old could take it over after he out grows his current bow. If you have any recommendation on any other bow for women that would be great too...funny we went from one bow in our house before christmas to 4 now. maybe 5!!

mrklean Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 My fiance shoots a mission maniac similar to the craze and its a great bow nice wide range of poundage so its great for all ages and they are great starter bows wont break that bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex1 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We just got a craze for my 12y.o. son for his birthday. very nice bow with tremendous amount of poundage, and draw length adjustment. He loves it, we've been shooting quit a bit, and my wife wanted to try it. Luckily tehy have the same draw length for now, but my wife couldn't believe how much fun it was. Now I'm trying to talk to her into getting one now They are short enough to make it nice for shooting out of a ground blind, but have enough brace height to be forgiving for a beginner, and very light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Sorry, can't help with your choice of bows, but if you want to start shooting in a league, look me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have Mission Craze for my 11yr old daughter. She loves it and I love that I can tuner it up with a couple allen wrenches and be shooting it in less than 10 minutes. Mission is a great bow and made by Matthews. They will be around for the long haul. The craze is extremely adjustable and light. It is on the shorter side for an adult, but I don't mind it. The Mission Riot is the same as a Craze in adjustability, but it is a longer ATA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerysniper Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Another one I will throw out there is the diamond razor edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abndoc Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 well now it just down to get out and shoot a couple of course if she goes with the craze, she wants the color to be white carbon and the diamond she wants a black riser with pink limbs...so much for the son someday getting it, but would I really want it any other way...its fun seeing her get excited about it. One more question, I have never really paid attention to Diamond as far who carries them, other then Gander do any of the local archery stores carry them? and is just as easy for a woman to get her hands on a bow to try as it is for us...meaning numbers? Going to head out saturday morning and have her shoot a few. Don, I know I know...this will probably be my answer to getting out to your club...alot easier if she wants to come with. With me being sick, and her taking care of me and the kids...she is really excited about having something that we can do every week together...much easier planning a date night when you have a commitment and not just what are we doing this week.

Archerysniper Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Diamond is made by Bowtech so any Bowtech dealer should have a Diamond line. Good Luck and have fun with it it's a great family event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abndoc Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 ok, i knew they were made by bowtech, but have never really seen many anywhere. That will make it easy for me..head over to hudson on sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abndoc Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm not showing her that you can pimp your bow out and probably have coach put on the limbs until after she likes or maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
