Hmm...Righty in TN and now the Lefty has made it to VA....nice timing!
Got off work a little early and came home to find that Lefty had made its way to me.
After stringing it up with a BH of 8 1/4", I headed outside in the heat for just a few minutes.
My first shot was decidedly off. Next 4 were within 6" of each other all right around the center. "Hmm...not bad!"
So, I shot for another 20 minutes or so from 17 yards. Here's my last group.
Initial impressions of the bow are: I like the contrast in the riser; the bow is smooth from start to finish on the draw (27" for me); and it is whisper quiet.
To be honest, the grip is just a bit large for me. But, maybe its more the double palm swells. I didn't care for them much at first. But, after a few minutes of shooting, it dawned on me that the belly mounted limbs (more forward handle) and the palm swells on each side really lock down the positioning of the bow in my hand. I think it reduces the possibility of torquing the riser greatly. My guess is that's the main reason bow shoots so accurately.
One other thing I absolutely love about the bow are the rounded edges on the front of the riser. Pet peeve of mine is to have sharp corners on the front of the riser because I so often carry it by the handle horizontally, string down held at the handle. But, again, that's just me.
Later on, I'll put up some more photos from the weekend that lies ahead!
Nice bow George!

Pics as promised, George makes a nice bow, shot my AD trad lites very well and drew back to 29" pretty darn smooth. I too had some adjusting to the dual swell grip to make but the more I shot it the more I liked it. Very nice bow, was thumping the targets nice and solid
Thank you very much for the opportunity to test drive it George, you make a very nice bow

Okay....spent a nice weekend with the lefty. It is packed up and ready to ship tomorrow.
I'll stick behind everything I put in my initial review. This bow is smooth and quiet! I've gotten use to the double palm swells this weekend. I'm covinvced they help me shoot more accurately because they position the bow in my hand the same each time.
I don't know if that's true, but I've shot this bow as well as any other bow I own and better than most all of them.
Here's a couple of photos right before I packed her up.
Thanks for allowing me to participate in your bow review George! Ken
