That bow can be "tamed" with a good set of Limbsavers, a stabilizer and a few other things. It's very small light bow that will "jump" in your hand, especially at higher poundage and longer draw length's. In it's time it was a great little bow, and still is really if your willing to tame it. On the other hand, their are lot's of other bows that won't require as much work.
