RE: Archery magazine
Exactly what Double Creek said. Most of the magazines reviews are their sponser/advertisers and they want to keep them happy. Check out any bow review in Petersons.....they all get 4 1/2 stars out of 5.
I still have a subscription to them and Bowhunting but take the reviews with a grain of salt. I normally read the reviews just to check out the specs of the equipment.
