I would go to as many shops that you can and shoot alot of different models and brands.You need to find a bow that fits you and you enjoy shooting.Just because an advertisement says this or that does'nt mean its the bow for you.If you like the -X- brand of bow and you can shoot it good,then thats the one to buy.Good luck,theres alot of really good bows on the market today to choose from,make sure you get the noe thats right for you.
