My Prarie Nomad Arch Royal is fast, buttery smooth, extremely forgiving of my less than perfect form, and the fit/finish is amazing!

That's about what you are going to find out with yours once you heal up, lol!

Terrific bows as stated above in both performance and looks.  Tim and Carol Finley are great folks, too.

northoz, I had a Kota Nomad which I liked. It had osage limbs and a cocobolo handle. Beautiful, well made bow that shot fast.

Any comparison to Pronghorn bows?

"Played around with several of my toys today and thought it might be interesting to take note of the speed.

I shot 3 arrows to determine the average speed. I draw about 27 1/2" and fletch my arrows to where the back of the fletching touches the tip of my nose, as an consistent indicator.

I shot my hunting arrows >>>>>------------>> Arrow Dynamics Trad Lights 28.5" long, with a 145 grain point, weighing 480 grains.

Here are the results:

A few of my bows like the Black Creek Banshee had a lot of "junk" on the string, so I think that they came in a few FPS slower. The Kodiak had a dacron string, vrs fast flight on all the others. Yes... I know I need serious [help]"
