I love them . I bought one from my freind Steve and were just gana meet to finish the transaction but its 55# and shoots great. Beautiful bows and nice. He had two of them and one is lighter than the other just becasue of the wood in the riser. If you get one I would sugest a heavyer wood to help stable the smaller bow.

Steve is right. Any bow with fast flight will be a bit loader than a bow with B-50. made a huge difference with that bow.JB

Ian,

Don't have the Raven but here's the Falcon Deluxe (plus a Hunter I).  I "accidently" won the Falcon off eB@y when I bumped the bid $5 just cuz it was a good price and won it.  I have really enjoyed it.  Steve

I enjoy mine.  That's the bow in my avatar. Not currently shooting it but for a 52" bow it does real well with my 29+" draw.
