Welcome to the club IA. I too have recently come into the stick bow craze (a year or two). From the bows you have listed are good bows but I must say I have a prefference for the BEAR bows and SHAKESPEAR. It is hard for anyone to reccommend a bow for you as you have not listed your vitals e.g. draw length, or weight of draw you prefer. I have suggested to others to first attend a local traditional archery club shoot and ask questions there, you may find shooters willing to let you shoot an arrow or two from their bows. Rendevous are a really good place to ask around at as there are usually a number of different bow makers willing to help you. It is all a matter of what YOU like. My bow is beautiful to me but to others it is an eye sore. Good luck.
Shoot straight, aim well,
and tell tall tales to
good friends.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
