Default RE: bows

I disagree with bowhunter818. Get the bow that feels best to YOU. I've shot Trykons and Switchbacks and neither one felt good in my hand. Don't follow fad. You'll be the only one shooting YOUR bow. Get someone at a pro archery shop to help you try different bows. The main thing is draw length. You should shoot with a slight bend in your elbow. This reduces left/right movement and also reduces stress on your shoulder. Afterall, you don't shoot a gun with a straight arm, do you?

Anyway, hope this helped a little.
