I owned two, and if I bought another it would be with a straight grip. These bows are expensive but are the best shooting bows I have ever shot. Smooth, and rip an arrow like you wouldn't believe. I could group an arrow better with those two bows than any other ever. Apple groups out to about 30 yds. I did that with a grip that hurt my wrist so I sold them and haven't bought a new one yet. I am talking myself into it right now though! I had a cool one that was a darker birdseye maple veneers w/ a bamboo core and cocobolo fades. It was a beauty.
