In the end we're not all groupies
I use what I use and I'm not about to condemn what someone else uses.
I used starter and intermediate bows. Never bought a bow and shot it before buying it. I just judged the balance for me, by holding the bow extended in my holding hand and judging it myself. I didn't judge the name of the bow, but how it fit one individual -me.
One doesn't make all. We all have different draw lengths; different kinds of arms -some are long, some are shorter, some are skinny, some are fat; some are pudgy. A bow might feel better for a 27 inch draw than a 30 inch draw and the reverse. And we all have different physical arm strengths.
Never had a bow that was made form fitting for me. So a non form fitting bow may fit some body forms and not others.
As I said, we're not all groupies.
