I paid 425.00 for mine and love it.I have shot mine with the Bisker Whisket just for Sh.. and giggles and it shot reasonably well.I did not do any in depth testing but it shot pretty well i must say.The only problem is that you may catch a lot of flack from the Trad shooters.When i was at the range with mine i heard a bunch of crap about using a rest on a recurve,so i left.I have my own indoor range now and you can be assured i will be using the biquit on it next year and yes i shot it with fingers.
