I'm kind of partial to Diamond, only because I think they give you the most bang for your buck. In today's market, almost every manufacturer makes a very good bow. I believe a person could be happy with many different bows. However, if you want the one most suited to your preferences, it will takes tons of testing and you'll probably have to own many different ones to figure out what's really important to you. That said, I don't believe one brand will allow you to shoot better. Good shooters are good shooters, no matter the brand. Likewise, poor shooters are poor shooters, with any brand.
