A couple of my friends this past year have gotten Wes Wallace recurves. One guy got 2 one of which is model you’re looking at. He wanted a one piece bow that would not break the bank and if it got scratched up while Elk hunting it wouldn’t hurt him. I shot it and I found it to be a bow I would consider. It draws smooth and doesn’t stack. The grip felt fine and the grip makes or breaks a bow for me
