Go out to a few different shops, and shoot as many bows as you can get your hands on. See what feels best on the draw, the release, and which seems to fit YOU, personally, the best. I just went out and shot some top dollar bows this weekend, and one budget ($599) bow, and the cheaper bow actually felt the nicest of the bunch!!!! Just my opinion, but put as many in your hands as you can, and make a more "informed" decision. Good Luck in your search.
