My daughter and wife love to shoot, but I'm the only person in the family with a real bow. They shoot my sons "toy" compound that's only rated for 28# and really small for either of them.

I suppose I need to come off some cash and invest in a couple of good female sized bows. (My compound is a 1994...LOL) So maybe I need to invest in a bunch of bows. We've talked about what a great range we could have in the back field but have never acted on building one, mostly because of the lack of archery equipment.

Thanks for sharing the article.
