If it wasn't for the low weight thing, I would have been in the same position like you: a bunch of different makes and models, and no real criteria to help me choose. I'm sure more vendors will follow with the carbon technology, and the industry will do what it always does: even the odds. The Bowtech Carbon Knight had just come out, and was a perfect match for the requirements. That being said, when I bought my bow, I was looking for something with a high performance / price ratio, and a low weight. Try and shoot a few different makes and models before you make the purchase. Also important: that you get a good deal, and that you like the bow. It's more important that there's a dealer nearby, who could do repairs and maintenance on your brand of bow once in a while. Unless your goal is to have something to brag about, in which case totally go for the most expensive thing, yeah. Just avoid "flagship" models - you get a tiny performance improvement for a very large price hike. The vast majority of rumors out there ("better at midrange", "more forgiving") are bullshit. The industry is so competitive, the products are virtually the same. Just because I've heard of Bear etc being better at the more mid-range.Ĭompound bows are like computer hard-drives.
