They seem "small", but talk to Ron if you are concerned - Gregg can likely adjust some.  The shape is very comfortable, and settles in easily.  It is so compact that I have to shoot LW feathers (rt handed) or I cut the heck out of my hand.

I've got a 56" Classic Hunter, and I love it.  Osage/Black Phenolic - looks like the "Ebony" above.  Smooth all the way back to 32".   :thumbsup:

tradtusker, Andy on that Shadow Gray bow you've got the quiver too far out on the working area of the limb. Move it in as far as you can past the fade outs on the riser. When you restrict the working/bending area of the limb you risk damage in that area of the limb by causing a fulcrum point.

Cool bows for sure....shootability is not a problem at all....very pointable bows, and shooter friendly.

I don't think the grip is too small, although I have medium hands, Ron's are HUGE and he sure don't have a problem with the grips.  Matter of fact, the grip Ron uses is one of the best I've ever slid my hand into.

I have a Samurai that I love.  It is a smooth shooter, and easy to handle in the woods.  Your only regret will be the wait!
