Look at BT's site...most all pro shops that I've looked at have been about $50 lower than the retail price on BT's website. When I bought mine I talked the guy down to $600. But he went to check and found he couldn't go lower than $630. So I believe they have room to play. Might be worth a shot.

I LOVE my Equalizer! I have the black marble riser & firestorm gray limbs. One of my conditions for getting a new bow was that it WASN'T camoflage so I totally get the "it has to look good" part of it all!!! AND I receive many compliments on the looks of the bow when I'm out and about with it.
I have a 27" draw length but since I'm still under a year for learning to shoot - I got the 40# limbs for it. I can always upgrade to the 50# limbs once I build my strength. (I had to learn to shoot left-handed due to my eye dominance issues so still working on the strength part!)
Her best bet is to try as many as she can - everyone's a little different and the bows feel like they are balanced different depending on the manufacturer. Ladies have a different center of gravity so it's really important to find one that feels good the minute you pick it up.
Watch the grips too - the standard grip was way too thick for me - sideplates are much better. (I have custom ones to match from Loesch Grips).
The more "girl" shooters the better!!!

Thanks for the input suzq!
The CottonWood Eq is the one she wants the most! But the biggest problem for us is, NO ONE around here has the Eq in 40-50lb limbs for her to actually shoot and try out! They are all 50-60lb limbs in the shops.
So how do we go about finding out if she'll even like it??

Get the shop to drop the poundage down as low as it will go and let her take a draw on it. You might be surprised of how easy she can pull the 50 pound bow. I have a Browning Micro Midas and a Diamond Edge with 30-40 pound limbs and you'll be amazed how easy the Diamond is over the Browning. Only difference between them is age, the Browning is a couple of years older.
