When you pick "IT" up you'll know. Positive hand placement = accuracy.Quiet, a deer can't duck a quiet bow.Then speed/performance.Oh and black glass is my favorite so looks don't matter as long as she can cook!

Grip for me is big and than how well I shoot it, if a bow looks greta is quiet and has sped and I cannot shoot it, what good is it. I have an RER Arroyo that is short 54"s and I shoot it better than any bow I have owned(over 100) and to top it off it is quick, quiet and has a great grip for me. Shawn

Grip
Smooth draw (absolutely no stacking feel)
Quiet  (as a church mouse)
Weight (I like'em light)
Performance
Looks (it needs this too)
All of the above is nothing if I can not hit what I am aiming at.

Oh,good mojo too!

For me, it's that moment my hand first wraps around the grip.  It's almost as if you connect at once, the love at first sight syndrome I guess.  If she catches my eye, I hold her, if we do not connect on contact I move on.  Kinda lame I guess, but I love my Northern Mist Baraga that came into my life this way...on a side note, I hope my wife doesn't read this, she already thinks I have an unhealthy relationship with my bows.  :archer:

Gotta be smooth to draw for me.  I draw 29+" and I'll tell you what.  I'd just as soon take a beatin than to draw a bow that starts to stack at my draw.

I think I could shoot almost any bow as well as any other ,as well as I can shoot that is. I don't think there is that much difference between bows.  
  How I percieve the bowyer probably carries the most weight when choosing a bow for me.

QUIET, but usually when you find that, the bow is also smooth, fast and forgiving --all that = FUN TO SHOOT, and that keeps me going.

This was my first longbow so it definitely was that first look at those maple limbs that got my heart pumpin. Fortunatly all the other features that Whip spoke of were part of the package.
