Not being a Recurve shooter by any means, I received a 1998 HABU "Mamushi" marked 1st Lefty on a trade, I gotta tell ya this Bow is "SWEET" Super Clean, Super Smooth & Shoots Lights Out !! Talked to Chris about it, he was very generous to chat with, I can only imagine what his New Bows are like, who knows, maybe I'll even hang onto it ....... for a little...... beings I love my L/B's ... I know, I know, PIC'S ,, I'll try in a day or two ... Oh yeah, the Bow looks dang near new !!
