Default Which bow should I chose?

I am currently looking into buying a new bow. I have not bow hunted in years and there is so many to chose from. I have narrowed it down to six. I have not had the oppurtunity to shot any of these bows. I am waiting on my local pro shop to get in the Rapture before I go for a visit. I have listed the six I have pick. Any help or opinions on the matter would be appreciated. Thanks.
PSE Brute
Diamond Rapture
Reflex Highlander
Bear Element
Bowtech Tomcat

Considering you have the option of visiting your pro shop and shooting these bows, here's my advice;

Visit your pro shop and shoot those bows.

Choose the one that fits you/you like best.

I was in the same boat until the other day, you really need to shoot them, your decision will be easy I think. Save the BowTech for last, pay attention to the let off, back wall, weight, viberation, and hand shock.

Shoot everyone of those bows on your list then decide. I think you'll like the way the Bowtechs shoot the best but thats just my opinion. The one that fits you best is the one for you.
