2. Brand - whether the individual likes the top archers who shoot the limb, or thinks the advertising is pretty, or has some other rationale for "believing" in the limb.
You might want to get yourself a copy of the latest Bow International magazine too. There's an article in there comparing many of the top limbs (with the exception of Border, sorry Kae!), and Andrew Smith writes about his 'real world' findings on Inno's, Winex, Extremes, G3's and Athletes (IIRC). It's quite an interesting read, and although the Inno's do well, and he clearly doesnt rate G3's, it's interesting to see his POV.
