Hang on a mo, no reason she can't shoot recurve! I have a 23 inch drawlength and manage quite nicely
. Certainly Bernadini and DAS do short (21 inch) risers that would be fine, she may even be OK with a 23inch riser, which most of the main manufacturers produce. Distance may be a bit of a struggle at first, but as she works her way up through the poundages (just like any other beginner) and gets some decent quick limbs and light arrows she'll be fine. After all, if a short drawlength was a barrier to shooting recurve competitively we'd never have any junior recurve archers, would we?
