The branded name was something that started with an A, but I can't remember it. I'll go back there soon to retry that $400 bow. If I really like it twice, I might buy it. But it barely beats out the best of my cheap bows.

According to my friend, all of the bows with that brand name are sold through Baran's in Decatur and made by the same maker. Baran's has been in business for about a hundred years (joking, but not too far off) so there could be quite a few of them floating around.
