You really need to shoot them before you even narrow them down. That will be the best way to decide. All bows are going to good anymore. You just need to shoot em

With the help of a shop pro... put on a blindfold. Have the pro number the bows 1-5. Shooting all of them with the blindfold on at 10 yards (be sure it is a very large target) concentrate on the feel of the bow, draw cycle, release and hand shock. Start eliminating them as you know it is not a feel you like. Forget name, brand advertising and stick with what matters. Your personal feel of confort. No peeking! Stick with the number one pick and take off the blind fold... that is your new bow! Hope that helps
