I said kinda ugly. I should have said compared to my more traditional bows. Everything on the bow is functional from the light weight tips to the no torque grip. Its certainly more functional looking than beautiful. I guess it is a new generation of hunting bows. I just started shooting recurves this year and I can shoot much better with my Hoyt than I can with my Chek-Mate Hunter or Crusader.
Don't get me wrong. If I could have only one recurve to hunt with it would be the Hoyt. It certainly is a hardcore hunting bow.
