Wow, I just got a used G-L Mantis off the classifieds,but this is really different. If that shoots like mine, I may have to re-think my next bow purchase. I guessing that it performs well.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

The wood on that bow is fantastic and your bow is beautiful. Nothing like putting a new bow in your hands.
