I have two in my pile now. They are very smooth to 30" and plenty fast. I think the Chinooks are a bit quicker. I had a set made with a whip and SS to cast the same. Dan said that to match the SS, the Whip needed to be about three pounds heavier. He was spot on. Both cast the same arrow with equal speed. The SS is a bit smoother to draw to 30" than the Chinook. I have one SS with the standard thumb rest grip and one with the "classic" grip. I find that I prefer the standard grip. Many that have shot them prefer the classic grip. The only way to know is to shoot them both to decide.
Bottom line is that the SS bows are well made, plenty quick, and easy to shoot. If you get a chance to try them, I think you will like them.
