I bought one off **** and really liked it, very good craftsmanship, beautiful, a little handshock, but very quiet.  

It was a little heavy for me, so I sold it, but very nice.  I tried to email the bowyer, but was unable to get a good response about if the bow was FF compatible... A couple of other guys have said that they are, but by the looks of the tips, I didn't see anything to tell me it was, so.....still not sure.

Steve Welte is the guy that makes them. He was featured in Traditinal Bowhunter a while back. His bows are fine. I have had two of them. They are not speedy but are consistent. I had and liked the 66".

Well built mild R/D bows.  Steve prefers B50 as he feels his bows are fast enough with dacron and doesn't see the need.  I asked him about FF and he said that he has quite a few customers using low stretch material strings.  I have been using FF on mine with no ill effect.

Steve usually comes over to the coon rapids shoot with a bunch of bows. Very nice bows. Great craftsmanship. I really like the wrap grip he puts on the bows, really make the grip comfortable.
