Arthur I agree with JRW, you said a mouthfull.

Buck Magnet, the top of the line may not be the right bow for you, yet again maybe it will. A bow must fit you and feel good, I do not care if it is the fastest shooting, most expensive bow on the market, if it feels wrong or doesn't fit you, then you have lost half of the battle, the most important thing with a bow and many other thing is not how much it cost, but how confident you feel with your equipment.

Do not make the mistake of using price and brand name be the determining factor in the bow you get, go to several pro-shops and try different bows, I think you will be truely surprised in the difference between different models of bows made by the same company and also by different companies. Ignore the price and buy the bow that is a good quality bow that feels like it is part of you. You may find that the only bow that feels good is the most expensive, but you may be pleasantly surprised to find that a mid ranged priced bow fits you. A bow is a personal thing and everyone is different.
