I don't know what is available to you in Australia, but here I would spend an extra $75-100 and buy a Maddog 60" recurve.

Holm-Made, A river Runner is an excellent one piece bow and good customer service.Plus he is a sponsor here and heck of a nice guy!

Shipping a one piece bow to Australia will cost at least 125.00 US from the United States.  At least that is the best price I found when I shipped to New Zealand.  I think there is also some customs expenses at your end as well.  Just so you know what your getting into.  Chad

Yea they are a sexy looking bow the huntsman but I don't want to spend that much. looking for something in the 300 range that's why I think I have my eyes on the bear grizzly value for money I don't think I will find any better.

Mate, I love Martin bows and have owned a Hunter and a Hatfield T/D ... i have also owned a bunch of Bears over the years and the Grizzly is a great shooter and should handle 29". I'd take the grizzly over the X 200 everyday of the week ...
If possible try a Martin/Howatt Hunter ... brilliant bows that throw a heavy arrow really well .
Shipping to Oz for One piece bows is now often running $200 +

cheers
