Well, Dave, she really spits out an arrow - I was surprised at her speed. While the feel is a little different from my string-follow bows she is well-behaved at the shot with a slight vibration of the string much of which may get tuned out and I'm sure will disappear with string silencers. Accuracy (on my 7 yard in-the-garage range) is good and in fact I shot a few this morning before heading to work. If I do my part she is most willing to do her's - and she looks rather striking doing so. I was working on nock point last night and will try to finialize tuning this weekend as I hope to take Clara to the bow range so she can shoot "long distance" after being inspired by the event at Baltimore...
