Default RE: New Browning Barracuda Bow???

I spent Thursday morning setting one up for a friend of mine. The dual cam makes it a little more sensitive to set up. It shot fast, was quick handling, and was very light. However, the short axle to axle makes for a very sharp angle on the fingers. I personally did not like it. My friend has big, thick fingers and is used to shooting split fingers with no-gloves on a recurve. We put them on, but the nock pinch due to his fingers and the no-gloves caused very erratic arrow flight. We finally had to put both the no-gloves under the nock so he could shoot 3 fingers under style like I do. Viola, the arrow flew straight!

I much prefered my Oneida or recurve to this bow. I think I'm glad I did not buy one. If it were 35 inches or so, it would be much better.
