[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 2118678, member: 12099"] Actually that not entirely true... The Passion is as fast or faster as the Jewel and shoots just as well, my wife shoots both... However the Jewel is a great bow but its not just labels, the bow inst just marketed towards women. It's pink/teal, has flowers on it and a "jewel" on the riser. Not really easily passed off as a guys bow. It's a Z7 Extreme with the Z7 mag cam and shorter brace height. But it is an amazing bow, my chick's runs the chron at 245fps @ 45lb/24" !!!! Now on this topic... Being in a chair, the shorter A to A will be nice. If you want to invest some $ in a great bow then I'd look at bows like the Z7extreme, it's 28" (just like the Jewel) plus has and extra inch of BH and just as fast. If you don't want to drop $1000+ on a bare bow then don't over look a used DXT, they can be had for around $500 fully set up. For a little longer A to A bow that will get some great speeds with lower weight, finding a 40-50lb Hoyt AlphaBurner would be a great choice. I run one of mine at 59lb/28", on the chron 285fps with a 450 gr arrow. You could probably get close to those same speeds set 40-50 with a lighter (350ish gr) arrow. There are a ton of great bows on the market, typically id say just go out and shoot them all then decide for yourself. BUT being your looking for such light weight in a longer draw you probably won't find many if any just sitting on the shelf at a pro shop. [/QUOTE]
