I'm wanting to get my wife into a parallel limb bow, with the full 80% let-off, and with the new technology of all the "smart cams" of today. She's currently shooting an older PSE that we got for her about 4 yrs ago. She only shoots target and 3-D's........ NO HUNTING.
Anyhoo, I went yesterday and looked at a couple for her (well, really for my curiosity first). She wasn't available to go at the time anyway.
I looked at the Bowtech Equalizer, and the Hoyt Kobalt. Now, as a hunter, I liked the Equalizer the best of the two. Also I thought the Kobalt looked a little too small (my wife is about 5' 7"). Also there was about a $150 difference between the two bows (at the place I went to).
I also showed her the Martin line, and she kind of likes the Leopard too. We've glanced (online) at the Elites, Mathews, Parker, Diamonds, Mission bows by Mathews.
Does anyone have any other bows that they would recommend in the parallel limb category?
I want to make sure I look into all of the choices. Then have her go and shoot as many as possible for her final decision.

I do! I do!! PSE X Force! Check out the X Force 7, SS, and TS lines.
The Equalizer is a great bow too. Do her a favor and let her shoot an X Force!

I'm heading to pull up their website now Jason.... I'll get her to take a look at 'em.
She REALLY wants the Cottonwood color of the Equalizer! And it is even $100 more than the camo version..... at $750 BOW ONLY!! 
Cottonwood Equalizer...

How many Lbs is she pulling? I'm guessing her drawlength is about 26+ loop?
Bud you can get most any of the bows that are parallel limb in 50 or 60 lb limbs with 26" cam. Heck you could get her a drenalin or XT...............Just something to think about.

Ernie is there a shop locally that may carry some bows in her draw weight? The only way IMO is to let her pick one that best fits her.

I agree Virg. But you know how women can be, she's gotta have one that "looks good" (to her)! 
So there are about 3 different bows that she has "kinda" narrowed it down to. Now I just need to get her to the shops to shoot those bows. Only problem is, we have to run to 3 different bow shops, up to 40-50 miles away for one of them.
Jason, the PSE's fall into the category of.................... "Nope! Don't like those!"  Sorry bro.............. but revert back to the second sentence in this post!
