Stopped by Jim's place today and shot a bit during lunch hour from his porch to the "bear" target in the front lawn. Shot 2 of his "personal bows", including the Kajika...man is that a good shooting bow. I am not a good curve shooter but had no problem smacking arrow after arrow. I was surprised that the 56"er drew like butter. I shoot 600gr arrows and from the 53# bow you could really only hear the beaver puffs on the string swoosh. I may have to sell my one piece to help purchase one. The grip seems a bit different as well and fits my hand like a glove. Nice design! I don't expect to see a "why is my bow noisy" post from these!
