however the decision matrix I used is designed to take emotion out of the equation.
That's good info for the analytical types, however bow buying tends to be a very emotional thing. The people I see getting new bows, seem to always use very subjective criteria like, feel of grip, eye appeal, weight (both heavy and light being preferred), camo pattern, their best friend shoots one, a popular pro is winning with one, an advertisement convinced them it's the best, the waranty was better, the service was better, their favorite shop carries it (maybe the best reason), they have an emotional attachment to a particular company or even that it was recommended on a forum. On the other hand, I have never seen anyone write down every stat concerning each bow and pick the one that looked better on paper. Bow buying is a lot like car buying. It's a very emotional thing for most people, so there is no one bow or bow brand that will appeal to all.
By the way, welcome to the forum.
