I went to see roman today and shot a number of bows. He was very very accomadating and put together any number of combinations for me to try. I had my eye on a wildcat but found I shoot his k-2 model much more consistently. He makes them as short as 56" which is what I wanted and within a few minutes I was stacking arrows at twenty yards. Even for such a short bow it did not stack and was super quiet. I was very impressed with both the bows and the bowyer. I should have a k-2 model with macassar/cocobolo riser, and macassar limb veneers shortly before deer season if all goes well. thanks one and all for your input.
