[Ansteorra-archery] light bow?

[Betsy Marshall]

You might also include the term "youth" bow in your searches- many bows for
the 15 and under age group are made in the 15-25 # range, for developing
muscles as they get older and more experienced. (even in our college archery
class the weights peaked out at 30- there were many recurves available in
the lower ranges; only 2 of the 15 people in the class opted for the 30's.)
Hope this helps! Pyro

We plan on her using the 20# bow for Target Archery.

I originally purchased a 30# bow for her, and that I could use in combat
archery, as I progress in the SCA, but she can't pull it back like I thought
she would be able to.. So, I'll use it for Target Archery as well for
awhile.

I had looked in the local pawn and gun shops before, and found nothing
there. But have continued to scout those places.

Thanks for the other suggestions
