Shot the bow today. Shoots very well. No hand shock and quiet. Even though the grip is quite different from my other bows I was able to pick the bow up and shoot about as well with this as with my other bows. Incredibly light. I shot both this bow and my vortex and shot quite a few arrows. I guess I got a little tired and my concentration wavered because I finished off not shooting quite as well as when I started. Not bad, but just not as good. I should know better. I still finished up well, but really had to concentrate on my form. Probably the light weight of the bow magnifies my technique flaws. All in all a very nice bow. I plan on shooting it some more but really recommend anyone not on the list that is left handed give this bow a try at Whittingham. My grizzlystik alaskans and AD trads both fly well out of this bow with brass inserts and 125 grain tips, but my arrows are 30 3/4" long and I'm drawing a little over 29".
