I don't think it matters much. A certain bow may have a better feel to it but just personal preference. I think a lot of the things we talk about with the new bows don't matter much. The technology is all so good and so close you are splitting hairs.
String buzz, jumps in the hand, dead after the shot, etc. I shot new models last year from Hoyt, Mathews and Bowtech. To honestly tell a difference you had to really concentrate on every aspect of the shot from draw to follow through. You can do that on the range in a shop. Out shooting with your buddies I think you would be hard pressed to tell much of a difference.
I tend to agree with you and this was the premise of my post. Do people really have that hard of a time pulling different bows set at the same draw weight that it would cause them
not to buy that bow or are they just "splitting hairs" as you put it?
I know I had a heck of a time noticing the differences. To tell the truth there is not that much of a difference between the high end bows and the low end bows for that matter.....well except the price.
