These are great bows hidden in the bottom rank of plane Jane underdogs. A slight string follow mild R/D bow that is easy to shoot accurately, handles heavy arrows well and is quiet. They are not fast, but plenty fast enough for hunting. The design is so stable and solid that I have used it for a pattern for a bow form and so has Charlie Lamb for his Sundbear longbow. You can pick up used ones from the classifieds and even the new price is well below most "custom" used bows. Great place to start, and if you avoid bow buying and selling addiction, you can just stay with the Montana.
