As someone said earlier, the limbs remind me of the earlier Bears, the 70's Grayling bows.  I like the handle forward, I have several bows, recurve and longbow with that feature.  It looks like it should be a dandy hunting bow, the very forgiving handle forward, enough weight in the riser to control the shakes, and a smooth draw.  Bill

Well guys, this one isn't a barn burner.  Her avg speed is 177 fps at an 8" brace, drawn to 28", and shooting 10 gpp.  She likes 8.5" the best.  The difference between 8" and 9" brace is only 4 fps.  But, she is a very sweet, forgiving shooter.  I like her, but will play with a new limb profile without so much concentrated curve at the end of the limb.  I'm sure I can gain speed by dropping the brace to 6.5-7", but it wouldn't be practical.

Colors remind of yellow jackets... Might be a good nickname for the bow

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I think Gen. II is more aesthetically pleasing.  Very functional in appearance also.  I like it alot.

Marty, the riser profile is a vast improvement over the prototype. I didn't think I could like a riser like that but with the refinements you've made I have to admit it looks very nice.
