so would folks recommend his bow for a beginner? or is a crossbow even a good place to start for a ballistics newbie?

Yes and Yes, this is a good place for a beginner, esp as in your case I think your lass is also unfamiliar with bows and this very lightweight tool would be easy to learn with, You could actually just as easily start with a full size 120 lb or 150 pound bow but they are harder to cock and get used to. And of course historically crossbows were much easier and quicker to master for olde worlde villagers than long bows.
