If you like that style bow (50's style recurve), IMO it's as good as any. Grip is very comfortable, smaller than most any of the other CM recurves, but not a broom-handle grip either. It's only cut to center, not past like the rest of their recurves, so it won't be quite as forgiving of arrow spine. At 56", it's not a bow I'd recommend for a long draw or a serious tournament archer, but just dandy for ground blinds, pop-up blinds, tree stands, or other tight spots.

I haven't shot one that much (too short for my 30.5" draw--finger pinch is a bugger), but have heard good reviews.
