That is a Stotler Medalist recurve and it does have a vey straight handle on it.I also had a longbow that had a very simiar handle,although it was a bit " beefier" in the hand.This one is 64" ,52#@27" .I draw 26" -27" (depending on form)and this is my best shooting curve.It' s stable,smooth-casting,no shock,quiet and I clocked it at 167fps with a 525gr cedar.Here' s a better pic of the riser.
