RE: New Bow
It's good that you're doing some research, but don't overthink that stuff. A bow will shoot great for one person, but just feel wrong to the next.
I think the best idea is to go to your local archery shop, and handle the bows. Geta feel for what YOU like and what you don't. Most stores will let you shoot the bows before you buy them. Shoot, and shoot a bunch of them. You'll learn quickly what works good with you and your shooting style.
If you have a good archery shop nearby, the employees should bend over backwards to make sure YOU'RE happy. After all, that is what it's all about. Don't let anyone pressure you into a certain brand name. If you like it that's all that matters whether it be PSE, Matthews, Hoyt, the Cabelas Special, or anything inbetween.
Good luck and keep us informed.
