I just ordered one from JD, at whisperstikbows.com,
What I ordered because of the lower poundage I was going with (45#) it has a bamboo core with hickory overlay, I have heard that the combination of the two making the limbs very fast.
The last recurve bow I had was a 43# @28. I had a 410 gr arrow setup with it with 186 FPS. Probably because my draw length is 29" that also was a whisperstik, this will be my 3 rd whisperstik.
Now I would suspect my new bow I will get about 190 fps with the same arrow, but I am wanting to use a 500 gr arrow setup.
By the way starting price for a recurve $495.00 give him a call. Doesn't cost anything to talk to to him. He has about 6 to 8 weeks waiting time.
Mine will be here about end of November
