Asking a group of trad shooters that question is even worse than asking a group of compounders which is best, or riflemen, or fishermen, etc.

Some folks (obviously) go with what they shoot best. Some will go with what costs the most, another with what his buddy shoots, another with what their guru/hero/state champion/etc. shoots, etc. etc. etc.

To paraphrase Ken Beck (former owner of Black Widow Archery), "When you get right down to it, there's not a nickle's difference in the better bows on the market". A great archer can shoot any decent bow pretty well. There's no bow on the market that will automatically make anyone a great archer.
