I will not buy a bow without shooting it first. Just my opinion and how I go about buying items. Reviews on bows are just someones opinion anyway so even though a bow may get good reviews, I still like to form my own opinion on the product and experience firsthand how it feels, shoots, etc...

I also gotta say that with new bows priced around $900 dollars nowadays that also has a large part in why i won't drop that much money on something I have not had a chance to shoot.

Cost of shooting a new bow at the local archery shop before buying: PRICELESS
