Ari, I got an Echo in a trade from another guy on this site. I had only seen the Echo a time or two at shoots and never shot one and frankly it would not have been on my radar if I had been looking for a new bow simply because they are not much talked about on the sites...yet. He offered it in trade on a Bear SK I had posted for sale so I figured what the heck, might as well try it. The bow was in pristine condition just like new off the rack when it came. To say I am pleased would be an understatement. The Echo is as pleasant to draw as any ASL longbow I have tried. I have currently 7 such bows on my rack all by different makers, and the Echo is as smooth drawing, gentle on release, and quiet as one would wish for. I am shooting it with the string that it came with from Chuck--one of the low-stretch kind with Two Tracks wool scallops silencers. No pics to post but the specs on my Echo are--left handed, 68" long, 45@28, bamboo core with tiger maple veneers and myrtle riser, straight grip with brown suede laced grip. The Echo has just a slight hint of string follow--and did I say quiet?
I have currently one Howard Hill on the rack--a Redman--which I really like. I have had several Hills so am able to compare them. All of the different models of Hills I have had shoot the same as far as I'm concerned. I think the differences are mainly in wood choices. This Echo shoots as well as any of them in my opinion.
One other note....I have arthritis in the joints of my hands and the knuckle on my right index finger (the hand that holds the bow) is especially sensitive to hand shock. It really likes the Echo. :D Hope this helps.
