    Diamond infinity does the same its rather lightweight too imo, Mathews craze is another that is adjustable.

    ^^^^This.

    Mission Craze.

    I bought one for my youngest son, when he first got serious. (A neighbor had given him a Browning "Micro Midas" when he was 7, and he used that bow for a couple of years.)
    Very (and easily!) adjustable for draw weight and LOP.
    Very forgiving.
    Incredibly accurate.

    Get the hoyt. I bought a maxxis 31, awhile back, and i like it over any bass pro bows. How many bows is she going to buy, so buy one that is nice and not the one you are already looking to upgrade after year one. spend one or two hundred more and get all the right accessories too. Nice equipment is always a good way to get into something, getting your wife into something you obviously LOVE doing, so start it off right and get nice gear...it does not have to be the best, but nice enough for you. just my opinion though, you can also kill deer with a 40lb recurve too.

    I would go with the Hoyt Ignite. It can grow with her and it is a high quality bow.

    My daughter uses this same bow and started at 35# and worked to 40# and killed her first deer with it last year. Now she is working up to 45# for a little more punch. It's very adjustable and very woman friendly.

    It's nice to see your wife enjoys hunting with you.
