I shoot one and think that its a great piece of equipment and the customer support is excellent, but this is a man's bow. Its very fast and has a short brace, so, even though it does have parallel limb and very little hand shock, its still a little noisey and very touchy. If you have excellent form and aren't a stranger to yoke tuning, go for it. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.
