Nice bow for my wife?
My wife is interested in starting archery and I'd like to get her a "Pretty" bow rather than the usual choice of black, red, blue and white. As yet i have no idea of draw length, poundage but i do know that she is right handed/R.E dom.
For preference I'd like to get her a compound to convince her that cams, scopes and release aids aren't cheating. whats on the market at the moment?
Any help appreciated

If you're looking at lowish cost entry level, the Martin Jaguar comes in yellow and orange, if I remember correctly.

I'd agree with Peter (Bald Eagle). The choice should clearly be your good lady wife's.

Having said that, the Hoyt Selena is available in pink.
