solid as a rock, they shoot great not super fast but not slow just a good moderate R/D bow.  I will be surprised if you hear anything bad about the saxon American.

I had one years ago. Bout 60# if I remember right. I  liked shooting it. Only reason I parted with it was I got my Pete George LB.

The Saxon American longbow was my first.
I used it for years, I placed in a lot of shoots with that bow....

The Saxon American was also my first longbow. Not as fast as some but fast enough to get the job done. A good shooter which is a great place to start. Enjoy the ride.   :thumbsup:

A smooth pulling very stable shooting bow that's easy to control after the shot.
