Being brand new and having looked at a LOT of bows and being given an old Jennings Uniforce I think I should throw my opinion out there. The area where I am visiting seems to have a dealer for just about every bow that is made, with a few exceptions of course. I think I have held about all of them that fit me (31" draw). After talking to more than a few guys at the pro shops the common theme is " I would not buy *insert name here* because I have had problems with warranty work or *insert model name here* is just junk" Aren't they all like cars?! Any day of the week a worker at the factory can be upset or hung over, any customer service rep on the phone can be having a bad day or any make or model can be a bad bow?
The good shops I have been to have distinguished themselves from the so-so shops I have been to by telling me that I should buy the one that A) you can afford and/or B) feels right. There are a few (2) GREAT shops have told me to not buy from them if the bows they have do not feel right when I shoot them. They would sell me a bow, but they would rather sell me on coming back. THAT will bring me back, the guy who wants a happy shooter above a sale. By the way, those 2 shops sold Fred Bear, Martin, PSE, Reflex and Browning.
