I have heard some good about these bows and I have talked to the company.I hate dealing with small companys that might not make it.I asked the guy (rep) how the price was compaired to bow tech and mathews he said cheaper .Then I told him what I paid for my switchback and he thought I got it real cheap .That is going price what I have found anywhere from 630 to 700.So I am kinda getting the idear that these bows arename brand price without name.I have heard they shoot well but they are alot slower than mathews and bow tech and hoytt.I think thier fast bow is 307fps and that's mathews slow bow.I would like to hear about them if anyone knows

they look funky, and I think that they are too new to say. I know I won't be buying one, regardless of what my pro shop says

Contacted them myself and haven't taken it any farther. I would like to shoot one.

JKB, I agree with your first statement on the small manufacturer. My favorite bow was an Oregon. In my opinion, one of, if the the best bow of it's time. But what good is a lifetime warranty if the outfit goes out of business.

There is a local rep here that shows up to local shoots with one. It is LOUD for a bow that is supposed to be quiet. They tried so hard to make it quiet that they made the thing look ridiculous and it isn't as quiet as my Patriot shooting 300+fps with no silencers. I wouldn't buy one.

Outdoor life tested 10 bows and the WS came in last, it did win the most something inovative award for it's rubber coated idler wheel. Looks like it's destine for grave yard.

Last year I shot a couple Whisper Creeks that were terrible. This year a friend of mine picked one up, so I tried it for the heck of it. It had the least hand shock of any bow I've tried to date. The company appears to be very innovative. Kind of refreshing with all these cookie-cutter bows out there today.

I agree to a certain extent cause I chose the Switchback, but being afraid that they would go out of business was not the determining factor. If we rely on that factor as whether to buy or not then ALL small companies would go out of business. If you feel that it is a good bow, then by all means get it and support them and maybe because of people like you, theyWILL make it.
