I bought mine based on weight and it felt the best after comparing models (shot each one about 20-25 time each, was super tired and sore). Shoot a bunch to compare every shop will sell you on what they like the best. Buy once cry once unless you have the kind of money to buy new each year... I bought one of the lightest bow out there cause I'm not a big person and can't pack/hike a lot of weight so all the accessories also follow that guideline. Good luck it's going to be a blast!
