Frank I pretty much only hunt with my bow, but I like one that is easy to shoot, and plenty fast, and easy to maintain. here is the list In order of importance I used:
1. 7" brace height or their abouts
2. Fast, I wanted as fast a bow as I could get and still be shootable
3. Mass weight of around 4 lbs, but not much heavier
4. I wanted standerd length cables and strings, and plenty of drawlenth adjustments, I wanted this bow to fit perfectly, and have enough adjustment to play around with loops and such.
5. I also wanted a quiet bow, with a nice thin grip, two cushion plunger holes for secure rest mounting, one solid mounting cable guard that won't slip, good customer service, and quality construction. Thier are a few other little things, but for the most part this is what led me to my Darton Rampage.
