It is so hard to shop for a bow nowadays because there are so many great bows out there to choose from. It is hard to pick just one. Just when you think you have it narrowed down, you try another one that really impressesyou as well. Like ranger said, you can't base it off what everyone else thinks. I've tried some bows that have received awesome reviews, but they just didn't feel good to me. Can't base it off the name on the bow either. You will find a bow that just feels good to you. With todays bows, it is really hard to make a bad choice. Just shoot as many as you can and you will know which is the best for you.
