There's no such bow. It's easy to prove--if there was such a bow, you'd never see one for sale used, unless maybe because the owner died. With any bow, you can find people that love it, and people that really don't like it.

I've owneda lot of different bows over the years, and I couldn't guess how many I've shot--I've kept one to shoot (mainly bowfishing), and a few others that have collector and/or sentimental value to me. The rest are gone.

Of the hundreds of bows I've owned, and the thousands I've shot, getting my hands on a really "bad" bow has been very rare. However, just because a bow is beautiful, well built, has a good reputation, a good warranty, whatever.....that doesn't mean you will like it. I could shoot most any of them well enough, but they didn't fit me. I once won a tournament with a borrowed bow that I hated (long story there). I haven't shot it since (it belongs to a good friend of mine), and wouldn't use it if he gave it to me. I can shoot it, but I don't like the way it feels in my hand.

Unless you just have the money to spend, I'd go with a cheap bow starting out. You don't yet know what you like or what you want, and your tastes will evolve as you develop your form and learn more. I wouldn't suggest bouncing from one bow to the next every other week--that's not enough time to learn squat about any bow (other than maybe you really hate it--I can usually tell that within a few shots on the rare occasion it happens), and will hinder you in the long run.

There are plenty of old bows that can be had at a bargain, and will perform with most any on the market--or at least close enough that you won't notice the difference. Old Bear, Pearson, Root, Wing, Shakespeare, etc. etc. etc.

If there'ssome specific bows you are looking at, mention them and I'm sure some of us have tried them and will have an opinion. Just keepthis in mind--an opinion isjust an opinion.
