I have not shot a "Slammer". I have owned and shot Black Widow MA, Robertson's, Dale Dye, Cascade, Chek-Mate, Assenheimer, Fazio Balistic, Bow River customs and a few Damon Howatt Hunter and Super Diablos. I still own most of the above but since I got my Whippenstick I hardly ever shoot them. Whenever I do pick up one of my old standbys I realize how far that Ken Rolhoff has taken the bowmakers art. His bow is as fast as my Balistic, as quiet as my Dale Dyes or Assenheimer, as stable as any of them and is quieter than all of them. I am not sure what it is about his design or whether it is a function of the time he spends to get the tiller just so but the bow is dead in the hand on release. It is a strange feeling to have the limbs just stop when they hit brace height. No vibration, no shock , no resonance of the string or limbs just a very dead sounding "thump". The finest bow it has been my pleasure to shoot or own.
And as Forest Gump said "that's all I have to say about that".
Best regards,
Dan
