You go out and buy Bow-X because Tom T. says it's the best. You get home and find out that Box-X isn't the best, because Bob B and Jon J say it isn't! They say it crappy and that Bow-R is really really really the best!
If you or your father are interested in a bow, than go out and stop at a few pro-shops. Try as many as you can and talk with the pro-shop personal. You might like one of the pro-shops a lot better than any of the others, usually happens that way. Then focus on the bows they sell and see which fits you the best. Your the one shooting the bow! So what if Bow-K fits and feels the best for you and shoots great too, and all your buddies shoot Bow-Z. Big deal! You got the best one for you, now go out and have some fun with it.
