RE: which BRAND of bow woud you buy?
I can't pick out a bow for you any more than I can pick out a pair of shoes that will fit you right. You have to go to a pro shop and figure out what is best for you. That's the only way to make sure you get what's right.
For the record, I've owned Bowtechs, Mathews, Hoyts, Bears, Reflex, and others. All were good bows.
