Good advice from the guys above. I always say, shoot a bunch of bows, and let the bow pick YOU. One will stand out as the easiest to hold steady, shoot smoothest, draw best, something that makes it stand out for YOU. Never ignore the "sales rack" of used bows. I have 14 bows in my arsenal right now, and only 5 of them were bought new. If a shop won't get a bow reasonably set up for you to try out (at your length, draw weight, have it roughly in tune), head to the next shop. If it's 1/2" too long of a draw, it'll feel wrong, but at the right draw length it may be THE bow for you. If a shop doesn't have time for you, you shouldn't have the money for them.
