I've been shooting this bow nonstop since I got it. I LOVE my old Habu recurve...but I actually shoot this vyperkhan noticeably better than the recurve. I told this to Chris Cox, while talking to him on the phone yesterday, and he told me the reason was "because the vyperkhan is a better bow". The other thing that has really shocked me is how much nicer the tripple carbon model is to shoot than the double carbon vyperkhan. I figured the extra lamination of carbon had something to do with it...but Chris said it has more to do with the way he is tillering them now. The tripple carbon is smoother than the double carbon. In fact...it is every bit as smooth as my Habu recurve. The tripple carbon actually has even less handshock than the double carbon vyperkhan...and less than the recurve. Really loving it...and shooting it very well. Can't wait for turkey season!
