Matthews Solo Cam "Ignition"

This is one of the bows I own that I purchased in 2007 and is the bow you see as the wall paper for the blog. I originally purchased this bow for competitions but I have transfered it over to a bow I do use for hunting.

This is an excellent bow for women as the draw length is a better fit than a mans bow and also the poundage will go up to 50lbs. I have been really happy with this bow but for hunting the broad heads I use are lighter and can not use bone crackers because it is not putting out enough poundage. This bow is no longer made so my recomendation for the ladies is

Matthews Solo Cam "Conquest Prestige"

I like the lightweight and the mid length draw.
