Well, I have tried the Dalaa twice now, and I could not tune it with any arrow that I tried, and I tried a bunch. I wanted to shoot it off the shelf, and it was a no-go for me. I know they are good bows, too many people are loving them not to be, but I would highly recommend shooting one first to see how it works for you. Maybe it just had too much adjustability for a redneck idiot like me to deal with, but it's the only recurve I've ever owned that I could not get to shoot anything well. I have shot a bunch of Hunters and its kin, and they are good bows, but they have risen sharply in price; I don't know that you'd save much, if any, by buying one instead of the Dalaa, or one of the lower priced offerings from some of the custom bowyers.
