thanks all!
only got a handful of arrows through her yesterday (the winds are'a blowing here). the ones i shot looked and felt good. its close to if not the quietest shooting bow i have ever shot, and the bow itself is very pretty too. the riser is bubinga and wenge with the limbs being the aged yew 'snag' mentioned above. the grip is very comfortable and absolutely no hand jar- amazing! I like it!!!
lastly, the bow's profile when strung makes it just look mean!!! first class work by Gary Sentman.
