I have one that used to be my main backup because I could just pick it up and always seem to shoot it well. Its not a pretty bow and is cheap. The downside with mine (#55 @ 28)is that it starts stacking at 27" and with a draw at 28" it becomes very noticable which I think is strange for a bow marked 28".

I used to have a Kudo. It was my first recurve and I did kill my first trad deer with it. It does seem to stack a lot at the last inch of draw like mentioned above. For me, tuning it was not the easiest, but maybe I needed to get heavier tips for my carbon and I was learning. I just switched to an elevated rest and all was fixed. The worst thing about my Kudu, which I think they have changed the limb tips to fix, was that it would eat strings like crazy. I would have to replace the strings because of severe loop fraying every one to two months (I did wax the loops). My speeds were about 180 fps.

I eventually took it back to Cabalas because the limbs started cracking below both limb bolts next to the riser.

I did shoot the bow well, and I was happy with it and I did shoot it a lot. You may be a lot stronger than I am, but I would not want to shoot a 60# kudu. Mine was a 50#. If you want a new bow and can get to a Cabalas and can shoot one, that would be the best thing you can do. Other wise I would get a used high end bow from the classifieds for the same price.

I was content with my Kudu until I shot a few bows at the Trad Expo in Wheeling, and I was hooked on the Zipper with no question for my shooting style. No hand shock, smooth non-stacking draw..... Other than that bow for my style, the other bows seemed like expensive Kudos when I shot them. I guess take that for what it is worth, probably not much.... Just my thoughts, so don't kill me guys.

Feel free to ask any more questions if think of them, since I probably just rambled and didn't really help you out much.
