As was stated it is a very personal preference type of selection process. Based on money and feel/like/dislike. One thing I did not realize when I was selecting mine was to roll in the speed factor. The advertised speed of the bow does not reflect the speed of the arrow to target. My next bow I will load into the OnTarget software with my known draw length arrow length etc to get a better feel for what the bow will do. With my bow I am lucky to get 55lbs of KE at 50 yards and I wish I had a little more flexability.
