I am going to bass pro tomorrow so I can put my hands on some and figure out what I like and don't like.

I made my decision about 65% on weight. And cumbersomeness, if that's a word. Speed mattered some, and for sure the Barnett shoots to 75 yards easily. How many do that, I don't know. Everyone said 10 points were the best, but they were 5 lbs heavier than the Barnett.
Problem is, unless you go to an archery store, you can't shoot 'em to try 'em out. If you have a buddy with one, try that first.

I bought mine at BPS and shot it in their indoor range before purchasing it.Quote:

Oh. Well, we just got our FIRST BPS in this state last month, and it's been a while since I have been in one. I don't care much for them, they are the Walmart of sporting goods, and prices weren't great last time I went. But they're ok. I didn't know they had ranges. My bad.
I don't know if they all do or not. A very good buddy (and hunting partner) of mine managed the BPS in Orlando and that's where I bought it. I seldom go into any other store so I don't know if the range is the norm or not. I also bought my compound bow there ... same deal, shot it before I bought it. BTW ... the "range" is simply a single-lane deal (for bows) ... not a full-fledged shooting range.
