They had a very similar thread up a few days ago. Should be more than a couple pages back.

Long story short, most people don't like it, and its  built kinda funny. But the people like me and a few others, think its just fine.

I have a bear montana too. They are my two kicking around in the swamp bows that I don't have to worry about.

I'm going to use the montana for large boars that don't jump the string. And my silent stick for deer.

I won't lie the bear montana is a much better designed bow. Pretty much anyone won't complain about a montana unless they are used to fancy bows with contoured grips and stuff. Which the stick doesn't have either.

The stick is IMHO for shorter draw archers. Some places even sell it only as a youth bow. I shoot about 26in. Thats about the longer end for the stick, though other longer draw archers do like it too they tend to be even fewer and further inbetween.

It's very close to a D-bow and they recommend you match the last digit of your draw to your bows last digit length. like a 26 inch draw to a 66 inch bow. 28 inch draw with a 68 inch bow.

The stick is 62 inches. More for a 22 inch draw and  starts stacking pretty bad right where my draw stops. around 26-1/2 inches.
