I know there are plenty of great bowyers right here in the USA, but this Estonian company has a great reputation and a friend of mine has one of their bows and I liked the way it shot and the grip fit my hand well. The price was also a factor. My experience in ordering, etc was good- I was able to select from many different woods and handle styles- I wanted something very simple and plain. I also wanted to avoid tropical hardwoods. So I chose Walnut and imitation ebony- I don't know what the stuff is made from. The grip style I chose has no laminations, stripes, etc and has a high wrist position.
Originally, they said it would take about 3 months for production, but in the end it was more like 4 months. All of my emails were responded to promptly and I did not pay until it was done.
Most of Falco's bows have a company logo on the back of the upper limb and a fancy "shield" on the belly where they write in the stats. I did not want either of these and was pleased that they agreed to make this one with out any logo at all.
I'm shooting off the shelf with the stock fur rest and no strike plate- the bow is cut about 3/16 before center.
