I just shot it the other night in fact. I had one MAJOR complaint about the bow. The grip was probably the WORST I have ever held. Very chunky and I could not hold it comfortably at all. So much so it gave me a hand cramp after only sooting about 2 dozen arrows out of it. Otherwise the bow shot very nice, Decent speed, fairly smooth draw with a good solid back wall. Little to no vibration on the shot and very quiet. Everything I would expect from a bow made by Sims. As far as mass weight, the bow weighs in about the same as most Hoyts, right about 4lbs. Not overly crazy about the chunky riser but thats just a visual thing. Next time im at the shop I will take off the grip to see if that helps any. A solid bow if the grip fits your hand. Sims deffinitly has some refining to do with this bow, but overall IMHO a solid first attempt.
