I have a Don Dow Stik I just picked up on here. Smooth and forgiving. Very quiet as well, though coming from a recurve I guess any longbow would accomplish that. Finish and quality are better than youd expect for the price. I wanted a cheaper bow to try longbows but I guess I got lucky and landed a real shooter I'm not too positive if its cut to center or not, but its pretty close. The guy I bought it from I think said 3/8" positive, so thats probably right. Good bow, loves my cedar arrows, not a fan of my fir. Haven't figured that bit out yet, the fir may be just a tad to heavy for it with 125 up front. Not too worried as I have plenty cedar laying around.
