Shoot EVERYTHING you can get your hands on, and then YOU will know which one really is "TOPS" for you, or at least be able to narrow it down a bit. I personally have a handful that are the TOP few for me, but that's just my PERSONAL feel for bows. Anything w/ a short valley is OFF my list because I like to come into a valley and hit a solid wall. For some guys I know, they actually like a short valley, most I know do not though. A solid wall is something MOST guys like, yet I know a couple finger shooters who don't like a real solid wall, again a personal preference, and something that you have to decide which you like, and go with it from there.
