RE: bows bows bows and more bows
Youll have to visit a proshop that has a large selection of bows. Alot of of shops are only carrying one to three manufactures these days. I would recomend Gander Mountain, Cabelas, or Scheels if you have any of these near you. If not try out any reputable proshop and see what differnt makes and models thay have. You want to be able to shoot all that you pick up.

RE: bows bows bows and more bows
Iactually work at cabelas and they have a huge selection of bows. They have an indoor bow range but its always so busy it will take atleast an hour to even start trying. They usually only have 2 people working the bow section and theres usually about 40 customers there trying to get waited on. Theres a Gander Mountain about 15mins away from Cabelas but there selection isnt the greatest

Forget Cabelas, forget Bass Pro.....I've seen WAY TOO MANY bows that weren't set up right and just wrong for the individual. I mean no offense to you, I don't know what department you work in....but it seems to me that as long as they sell a bow, not much else matters.
Go to a pro shop, period. You'll get more personal attention and you'll get set up right.
There are too many good bows to list, but if you forced me to pin down a few, I say look at Hoyt, Ross, Bowtech and Mathews, in that order.

like mobowhunter said, the three top bow manufacturers today are mathews, bowtech, and hoyt, and ross is getting up there. my suggestion is you check a few models from each company pick two or three you like the most and go from there. and btw bowtech and hoyt both have a bow line that sells for cheaper called diamond by bowtech and reflex by hoyt.

RE: bows bows bows and more bows
I took some advice and have it narrowed down tofour bows, The Reflex Highlander, Fred Bear Instinct, PSE Super G-Force, BowTech Diamond Rapture
Im Kinda leaning toward the Fred Bear Instinct but ill make my decision when i try them out. Has anyone else shot any of these bows?
