RE: outdoor life bow review.
With all due respect to Mr. Silks, anytime you see a review such as this by any media outlet that accepts advertising monies, the results must be suspect. It's not in their best interest to call a spade a spade and make a comment that would tick off a potential revenue source, ie advertiser. Nor would it be smart for them to make a call that ticks off current advertisers and have them withdraw their business.
And sometimes they intentionally make a comment solely to stir up controversy, because controversy attracts readers/viewers/listeners/website hits. The more people attracted to a certain media outlet, the more money that outlet can charge for advertising. Take an intro course in journalism or marketing and that's the first thing out of their mouths.
Take the reviews for what they are and do your own review of the bows you're attracted to.
