Sam, first saw these bows at the appalachian shoot in WV and the guy lives a hour or so from my home. Craftsmanship is superb and he takes great pains to make them right. I have never shot one myself but I know of two or three guys that have these bows and say they are shooters and they are the only bows they use fulltime now. You could ask for some references and call them and talk to them. There happens to be a picture of one in the thread of pics of hunting bows on pow wow right now.....Mac~
