that is so true, I know between my freinds and I we even have different preferences on tones of the bows color. For example I prefer a darker bow, and my buddy likes em lighter. I definatly agree with the personalities thing, each bow is so different. Some people swear by some bows that others would not even touch. Personally I like my take down, I think I would like it more if it was longer, it is 60 inches which I think is considered longer. I think I am in love with it also because it is my only bow in the 55# area? That seems to be a really comforatable range. My martin is a much more beautiful bow. That is why i think my next purchase will be the martin hatfeild or a black widow!
