Have not shot the newer Treadway forward handle bow.But have had the 60 inch Kanati.I liked it alot!I am sure it will compare very favorably with any other bow with that style of design.I cant think of one thing I did not like about it honestly.
If you are buying second hand and you find you want to sale or trade it down the road you will come very close to breaking even or break even if its selling at a reasonable price.So its really a no risk proposition IMO.Excellant hunting bow.
The Black Forest Treadway I had was an excellant bow as well.It did not have a forward handle though like his newer one.
