Personal preferances mean a lot. Mine are a grip that is comfortable and consistent, smooth draw, very little hand shock, lighter mass weight (I don't care for big/heavy risers), forgiving design, quiet,and of course good speed.

My bow fits my hand like a glove--no adjustments or finaggling required, just pick it up and shoot. It's 66", 60@28 and gains 2.5# per inch out to at least 31". My bow arm elbow won't tolerate much hand shock--I can shoot this bow all day and my elbow won't get sore. Even with a cocobolo riser, it weighs 1.6 lbs on my digital scale. Even drawn to 30.5" (my draw length), it's very forgiving. Last time I chronographed it (several years ago) I averaged 187 fps. with arrows that weighed 9.5 gpp, shot with a glove, and a regular "hunting" string (regular length serving, silencers attached, 14 strands with padded loops). In other words, the string wasn't stripped down for speed. I get comments all the time about how quiet it is.

So far it's the best for me--very few have come close (in my hands).
