To be quite honest, the reason I believe that this felt better to me was that it was closer to my draw length. Not trying to detract from the bows or anything, but the thing that made shooting them harder there was that they were definately set up for men to shoot. Most bow shops don't set up bows for women to shoot. I used to shoot a Fred Bear bow, and I loved it. But, I wanted something more. And when we needed some extra bill money, my bow went to pay the bills. So for Christmas my husband bought me a Mathews Mustang! I gotta say that of everything I've ever shot, I love the Mustang the most. Maybe it's just that it's closer to fitting me than most of the other bows. But I must add that when it comes to women, bow companies are shooting themselves in the foot if they don't start designing bows that are more competitive with the men's bows. So far we are left standing at the plate asking, "Where's my pitch?" Everything is focused on who the companies think are the main buyers, not who will be the main future buyers. If we aren't buying them for our husbands and sons, we're buying them for ourselves and our daughters! My 2 year old daughter is more excited about shooting her bow than her 3 year old brother is! I'm definately not trying to bash any other bow, and I have the same respect for anyone else that has their own opinions about their bows. I've always told anyone who asks me about what bow I like the most.... Get what feels and shoots best for you.
