Untill they have a fail rate less than Hoyt's % wise,I don't think it is opinion.Well,Strother has a lower fail rate but they don't have any on the market as of yet.
Hoyt limbs are PROVEN,Barnsdale makes good limbs but they don't have the track record that Hoyt's do.
I would still advise going to a shop and letting them fix you up.A 1/2" here or there does make a difference and might even save you money in the long run.Not only draw length but poundage makes a huge difference as well.After you have gotten into the game and have some experience,then buying internet bows might be a great idea but for now,you need to get setup right to save HOURS of aggrivation.
