That's why there are so many great bows on the market these days. Take the better ones and paint them all black, and if you test them where it counts--speed, draw force curve, lack of shock, forgiveness--my bet is there won't be a dime's worth of difference. 'Course we all have our favorites, and regardless of what the numbers say we will usually shoot our favorite better than any other. A guy I used to shoot with consistently out-shot a LOT of guys with a LOT of different high-dollar bows--and he was using an old Bear "Black Bear" that he had next to nothing invested in. Ain't no magic bows out there--the shooter makes the difference.

Something that always gets to me when I see it happen is some folks will act like you just disrespected their mother if you don't care for the bow they love. I catch myself wondering why someone doesn't like the same bow I do, but I don't take it personally.
