Dont buy what's in the shop if that's not what you want. Look at the threads around this board and figure out the bow that sounds right for you. Then go to the manufacturers web site and read all about it. While you're there click on the link that helps you locate a dealer in your area. I read for six months about bows before I bought a Merlin, and I had to drive 7 hours to get to a dealer who had one. I'm not saying Parker or Alpine arent nice bows, I'm just saying you should not let your pro shop's inventory decide what you shoot.

good luck
