I agree with eelriver. You definitely need to test them out. Go to an archery shop that has several kinds of bows, both new and old, and shoot each one. OnlyYOU can decide which one feels the best and has the right fit. There are many brands out there (Hoyt, Matthews, Parker, High Country, Bear, PSI, Browning, Bowtech, Martin, etc. etc. etc...) and I know it's hard to choose which one due to the vast amounts of choices out there, but find out how each shoots. Not all bows are created equal! One may shoot better than another, the only way to know is get out there and do some shoot'n.
