A hypothetical question

[Plumber]

Id keep my shafer!!! just not an Ilf fan

[stujay]

Absolutely. My enjoyment is to hit what I'm shooting at...Accuracy is most important to me.

I will go for function over form everytime. While none of my personal bows are ugly, they are SHOOTING bows, not showpieces. In fact, I think I would cover them in OD green spray paint but Ron LaClair and Gregg would hang me with a hank of fast flight  

[larry]

yes...I really like hitting what I'm looking at, kinda the whole point ain't it?

I don't look at my bow when I'm hunting.  Plus I'll put a dull spray paint on the Prettiest bow if that's the one I'm hunting...tippit

My shooting has alot of room for improvement, but I can't imagine getting rid of "Old Faithful".  As long as WE can kill deer at 20 yds consistently, I'm sticking with my beauty.

Of course, I'd shoot the bow I'm most accurate with.

Your premise is biased, if not a bit fulty though.  Why assume/hypothesize that it's the pretty bow that doesn't shoot as well as the so called ugly bow.  Lots of ugly bows shoot that way, while lots of pretty bows shoot lights out.  As others have already pointed out, one doesn't have to give up one (beauty) to get the other (performance/accuracy).
