However this isn't a small child's bow. This would be more suited to a child that can pull at least 30 lbs.
Women's Bows: While Browning doesn't have a line specifically made for women. Models such as the Verado MT and the Micro Adrenaline would suit the lady archer well.
Hunting/3D bows: The most current lineup of Browning hunting bows is the Illusion, Mirage TC and Verado MT. All three are short, forgiving and smooth rigs that would work well in many hunting situations.
