I had the pleasure of shooting this bow for only about 30 minutes, total. Rain and work just kept me from shooting. But, I have had it for 5 days and it needs to move on, much to my regret.
1) Really enjoyed the weight of the bow. The mass of the riser is just right.
2) Love, and I mean LOVE, the grip. It was perfect for me. I really like the thumb rest position and the “finger groove” which is just a recessed area, was spot on. I could hold the bow with an open grip or closed grip, it did not matter. Right now, I wish every recurve riser I have would have this grip.
3) Very nice sight window and the arrow rest was cut just right to accept different spined arrows. Same test as with the Rainy Day bow. I just grabbed a mixed batch of arrows, woodies and carbons, and let them fly.
4) Speed and Accuracy: 10 gpp arrows flew very quickly and with great flat cast. The 12 or more gpp arrows had a nice arc but not nearly as much as I would have thought.
Here is a picture from this morning. I grabbed 5 arrows and went outside. (snuck out the door on Mother’s Day, just to shoot for 10 minutes).
I was at 18 yards, no warm up – nope, nada, none – and here was the group of 5. After that, I was so happy, I went inside.
My review:
I am more than impressed with this bow. And, if that riser would accept a 70# limb, I’d be all over it. Great Bow!!!!!
