Good advice from many, best thing is to go and shoot MANY brands of bows yourself, then choose. Many times one gets caught up in the hype (and sometimes BS) and chooses simply due to "advertised ratings", or ads, or simply brand name, and this is the biggest mistake anyone could make.

Why?

There is not a bow made on the planet that will fit EVERYONE perfectly due to their individual statures and form posture, that is why different manufactuers build different geometries and different people like different bows. To say one bow that is made out of the same 6061 riser material, same gordon glass limbs, same eccentric design and force draw curve, same bearings, axles, strings, and same film dip or anodize is better than another of the same build materials is ludicrous from a material/build standpoint. Only when you see higher grade materials being used in either the riser or limbs, or tighter tolerances in the build due to the production and quality control moving at a slower and more deliberate and precise pace, can you say "hey, that may be a better bow". Other than that it is simply based on personal preference to the geometry of the overall design.

Every once in awhile, you get the higher-grade materials and exacting craftsmanship and quality control all rolled into one package. It isn't often, but if you look hard enough you'll find there are a few GREAT bows out there. (but only a few) The rest are usually GOOD, and yes, there are a few made who I would say are only "FAIR".


Try them ALL, (or at least as many as possible) THEN decide. Good shooting!
