I just traded for one and today is my first real chance to shoot a couple dozen arrows. 60", #58@28" which is my draw length. Shooting 640 gr. carbons it shoots faster than my BW LAG. Very little hand shock, not for sure on the feel of the grip yet but it does seem to lock in the same place each shot. I shoot very relaxed (which shows in the pic via my belly hanging over the belt) with a loose hand grip. The Voodoostik hung right in there and didn't jump out of my hand. The bottom pic will show four shots at 17 yards. I grouped a little low but can adjust for that. It's my opinion that if a person is looking for a quiet, lightweight, pretty decent speed longbow give these a look over. I'm not replacing my LAG yet just giving it a rest. It fetched me a Jake a little over a week ago.
