ccwhitey Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 She went to a local shop that is the best that I have ever been to as far as service is concerned. She bought the bow at that place because there was a month back order in Cabela's. I told her that this shop had two of them in stock. They set her up for free and gave her a heck of a deal on it. It is a parker sidekick. Here are some pics. Hope to get her sighted in this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 That's pretty cool! It's awesome that you got a good deal and that they were so good to her. Will she hunt this year? My girlfriend wants to start shooting my old PSE, so I might end up getting her a new one if she likes it :-) Let us know how it goes! Take care, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Very nice! How about some pics of her shooting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Cool! Thats the same bow my daughter wants. You know, depending on what limbs are on there. You can upgrade them to the next set for about $50. So if she has the 30-40 pound limbs now, you can still upgrade to the next set, 40-50 pounds. Its like getting a new bow all over! For less money!

ccwhitey Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Here are some pics of her shooting it for the first time today. She's a born natural if I ever saw one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equalizer Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'd have to say that she looks like shes ready to go sit in the stand.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest COACH J. Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Looks like you got a good deal bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washi Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I hate to be the first to say it but the draw length is set quite a bit too long for her. The string should be on the tip of her nose, not beside it, and the arrows nock should be straight below her eye, and her knuckle (where her index finger attaches to her hand) should be just below her ear lobe. I'd say it is probably an inch long but since she is a new shooter she could be doing a couple things to make it look worse than it is. Even then she is shooting quite well.

dbHunterNY Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 That's some good news. I got my girlfriend a new Diamond Edge with 40-50 lb limbs. See really likes it and is doing well. I try to give her tips and tricks, while letting her do what works the best for her. It's now awesome shooting my bow, because I have the best buddy I could have now shooting with me. I should bring one thing to your attention. Girls listen and do what's suggested very well and religiously. It's almost as if they're afraid the bow will fly out of their hands and chase them if they do some little thing wrong or have improper form. With that said don't be worried if later on she shoots better than you at times. LOL Good luck and happy shooting, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it is probably an inch long but since she is a new shooter she could be doing a couple things to make it look worse than it is. Even then she is shooting quite well. I'm gonna disagree. I shoot my bow with the string to the side of my nose, not on the tip like I've seen others shoot. It's a comfort thing to me. Now if the string was back near her ear, then we'd be on the same page. I say if she is comfortable shooting this draw length, stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Elbow slightly bent, kisser button on the kisser, peep in line and open hand grip. She looks ready to go hunting! Good Luck with the bow and hope she don't wind up out shooting you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
