Good advice Chad.... And I totally agree... It is almost 100% mental..... Get a bow that makes you feel proud and/or happy to own it!! Being content with what you have and really learning that bow can go a long ways to improving your shooting IMO.....
As for what is "in style" these days, I couldn't tell you

I live in my own little traditional bow world and haven't been in a mall in at least 2yrs.... But if I had to guess, if would be rattered and tattered for the guys and for the girls it would be boobs and butt hanging out!! Kind of scary thinking I've got 2 boys to bring up in this generation!
