Well....I for one am offended that Browning is not on the list......
Seriously, I would choose the bow that felt the best in my hand and shot the best for me. To me all of the bows listed are great and will kill just fine. I am assuming this is for hunting? After all, deer can't read the name on your bow and I don't think it matters much to them what they get shot with.
For me, as long as it 's in my draw length I can shoot it well enough to hunt with. Yes I notice slight differences in the bows but come on now let's get realistic here. Most of my hunting happens in some very cold weather and I have more to worry about than how muchone bows "hand shock" is than the other. I wear big gloves and lots of bulky clothes. It pretty much takes most of the "feel" out of it. So I just want a bow that will work when I want it to and ALL of the bow manufacturers listed will do just that. Yep, some bows draw better than others...again BIG DEAL! Christ I swear some of you guys are like girls (sorry gals
) "Oh, this bow draws too hard and that bow has slightly more hand shock than this one and...and...and..." If you can shoot....you can shoot. If you can't you need to practice more!
If this were a competition shooting board I could understand, but it's not. Last time I checked itwas HUNTINGnet. Pick a bow you like and isin your price range, shoot it, if you like it buy it. Do you really think that deer (or whatever game animal you shoot) is going to say to you "yeah you got me but I noticed alot ofhand shock in your bow, you should have bought a (enter bow name here)"
Come on people lets think about this, are there better bows than others?.....Yes, but will it really make that big a difference in the field? You can buy a $45,000.00 Perazzi MX3 Competition trap gun to take hunting but you won't kill any more birds than the guy with the $250.00 Remington 870 Wingmaster on any given day if youare bothequally skilledshooters.The higher line (priced) guns, bows, pistols, etc... matters only in the hands of the most elite of competition shooters and marksmen, and ONLYin controlled enviroments. Stick a pair of heavy gloves, jacket, boots, pants, bird vest full of Pheasants on a competition shooter let him walk in the snow half of the day looking for birds where his eyes are watering, he's snow blind and hisrunny nose is frozen to his upper lip and watch howWELL he does shooting.
Some people here put WAY WAY too much emphasis on the brand of bow. Hey there is nothing wrong with liking a certain brand, I'm partial to Browning but some guys take it too far.
Buy what you like and get out there and do it!
