A nice fellow mamed Jim Gainey used to build those bows. I think he was from Georgia or Alabama.  I owned a 62" Siren longbow that to this day was one of the better performing bows. He went through a divorce and ultimately stopped building bows. The banshee i remembered was a shorter hybrid longbow
