Congrats on finding your new shooting partner!Anything is possible, and for that price range you should have no problem finding something that fits her, and one she'll like. Keep scanning the classifieds, as well as the auction site. Just take care when buying from an unknown source. I've seen some really nice Kodiak Specials, Polars, Tartars, and Tamerlanes going for less than 300 lately. You can't go wrong with the old Bear target bows. Only thing with that is that they didn't use clear glass back then so you'll find different colored glass depending on year, make, model. I picked up a Bear Mag riser and had Droptine refinish it for me. Picked up some 35@28 limbs from Bearbowman, and the wife couldn't be happier. Tim
