I own one right now. It is a little loud by todays standards. It draws smooth and has very little recoil upon the shot. The bow is accurate and fun to shoot. They are a little different to tune. But with a little extra effort they are excellent bows. I would tell you that they are very well made bows but then someone will come back and tell you how they heard from some cousin's, boyfriend's, uncle's, brother's, sister's nephew that he heard that the limbs on them blow up every third shot. So I won't bother to tell you I have worked on a bunch of them, sold a few and own one right now and have never had a problem with the bows workmanship or quality. Beause as soon as I do someone will tell you how they just don't measure up to a ____________ (insert the brand of bow here that the next poster owns).
