It's been used in alot of bows and proven to be good.  It is heavier then alot of core woods used so may make a heavier limb which will be a little slower to recover but will you notice a difference in performance?, I doubt it.

absolutly. One of the best core woods avaiable. Not sure what you mean how does it react? I'd tell ya that it is very quick recovery, good tensile strength and looks nice to boot. I wouldn't be afraid of the trade because the limb cores are osage.
