I rarely have any reason to disagree with Art, but in this case I'd say shoot it first. No one bow is perfect for everyone. 99% of what I've heard about those bows has been good (never shot one myself, at least not that I remember), but there's been several bows that I have seen raved about that just didn't impress me in the least. I have heard his finish is second to none--never heard otherwise there.

It may be THE bow for you, or it may not. Down side is if you love it, you won't be able to get another made for you.
