October Mountain Products Bows?

Good evening;
Does anyone have any experience with these bows?
http://insight.octmtn.com/templates/pricelist.aspx?GroupGuid=58114
I'm going to need to upgrade the bow that I have, and money is tight (and I want a backup plan in case I can't find something in the classifieds when the time comes).
Thanks,
D

Havn't looked at them in a couple of years. When they first came out the workmanship was fairly crude. I saw them at the ATA Show and wasn't impressed.
Can't say what they look like now. Maybe things have changed.

When I wanted to buy a low priced longbow I looked into the OMP and Greatree. Both are similar in spec and price. I did not get to see either in person and eventually decided on the Greatree Solo Black because of a clearance sale at 3Rivers ($144).
What I received was way better than I expected! At 68" long, 45# @ 28", I couldn't ask for a nicer shooting longbow at any price. I reshaped the grip with a rasp, electrical tape, and a rubber sleeve grip. I shoot 1816 alum arrows from it and getting perfect flight. I've killed small game with it but no shots at deer yet.
I have custom bows costing several hundred dollars more hanging on the rack and my Greatree gets most of the action.
I understand the bamboo version has had some delamination issues but to my knowledge the Solo Black has had none.
I know you asked about the OMP but maybe this could be an option for you. Good Luck!

Good Evening;
Thanks for all the info. I'm not stuck on OMP stuff, I just found them as an economical option. I'll be looking into Greatree.
Thanks,

I would'nt call the OMP an upgrade from anything. Very crude workmanship,shoot OK I guess, but prone to delamination problems. I have one hanging in the basement with a delam riser that I need to get around to. Much better choices out there: Maddog, Omega, Black Rhino, even Bear Montana.
