I appreciate the information. It's like shooting a compound in the fact you have to shoot it to pick the right bow for each person. I'm just trying to get an idea of what is a good bowand shoot a bunch and have fun doing it. I really don't plan on spending more than 500-600 on my first one because I'll end up buying another one in a few years anyway. Most of the guys at our local shop are Widow shooters and I like them too. I really liked the Thunderstick longbow. It shot really nice but I'm hearing stories of the longbows cracking in the riser....I don't want to make the mistake of buying one that has a history of issues.
