Folks will be much more impressed with you hitting the mark with a $50 bow than they will with you missing with a $1,000 bow.

Love LBR but I have to disagree with that. I'm impressed with the shooter, never the bow. The same shooter can do it regardless of the bow but I get the point.

A person may have the capabilities tobuild the perfect bow to suit his/her needs/style/physical structure. Or could buy a $1000 bow thatmay not fit their style or needs of shooting at all. Of course this is looking at both sides of the spectrum without taking into consideration of anything in-between.But, areyou saying that an archer (the "same archer") can accurately shoot every style of bow out there reguardless of their individuality? Your statement quoted just above kind of sounds like it to me.
I think what Chad is saying is that the best suited bow for an individual may not be the most expensive out there. And don't be too persuaded in thinking that the most expensive bow out there will make you the most accurate. Find the one that meets your individual needs and style, and don't be too concerned if it is not the most expensive one.

What makes an expensive bow better? Don't get me wrong: I know there are some major differences, but what are they.

All you need to do is to have a bow that you can fire an arrow from with relative accuracy.
That said, some of the qualities from a "top of the line" bow include:
1. Vibration free
2. Hand shock free
3. Noise free
4. Build quality / materials
5. Smoothness of draw
6. Speed
Generally, the more you spend, the more of the above you get.
If these things are not important to you, then no, you will get nothing more from a more expensive bow.

No different than golf clubs, fly rods, tennis raquets, camping gear, running shoes, shotguns, paint ball guns etc...You get the picture. Each of these product groups has offerings among all the price points. The bottom of the scale running shoe will allow you to run a race. The top of the line running shoe will allow you to run a race more comfortably. No one can contest that the interior of a lexus is not a little more cozy than the interior of a plymouth neon. Just as no one can contest that the neon will get you from pt A to pt B, just as the lexus will.
