My wife also just started with a bow and she loves it. We got her the little Parker. It is light and she can shoot the heck out of the thing. Congrats on your deer! I had a Dec tag and hunted my legs off to get a small 2x2. I get more excited when she gets something than when I do. She shot a nice 300 bull this year in the rifle season and can't wait to get it back to hang on the wall. The photos are in a post called advice on 24a. Hunting with the family is pretty cool, I have two small boys that are starting to hit it with us to. Can't beat it.
Good Hunting
John
