Personal preference
Ditto! Personal preference is a huge part. Another factor, I believe, is getting a bow that fits you individually and is within your ability to control.
For example, I see alot of people in league shooting bows at much too high of a draw weight. They can barely pull the bow back and shake like a leaf......and they wonder why they can't hit the broad side of a barn.
