Fido, it is relatively light for a 3-peice, way lighter than say a widow. The riser is deceptively slim and the weight is just about right, no way heavy but enough mass to feel stable. A quick question for other firefly owners: When strung, do your limbs follow a smooth, continuous arc or is there a very slight "ripple" when viewed from the side? I could care less because she shoots like a dream, but I'm just curious if your bows are the same. My brother whose a "widow or bust" guy shot it this afternoon with untuned arrows and was stacking them at 20 yards by his third group. All he said was "How long was the wait?"
