Dean,
I have a Striker 58in one piece R/D slapstick 48# @ 28in. I have to say that the bows are fast and good looking, but mine has a good bit of handshock. I think, just my opinion, the three piece would be heavier and have less handshock??? I agree Rick is a nice guy, but my bow took 4 months longer than I was originally told at the time of purchase.
I want to be very careful here because Rick is a sponsor and has donated Hope & Faith for this year. That is very generous and shows excellent character on his part. I think if you have shot and like the bows then get one and enjoy it!!
Just my 2 cents,
Charlie(buckeye_hunter)
