I had one for quite a while and have shot them extensively. It is a hunting tool, and fantastic for just that. If you are looking for something that is lite, quiet, fairly fast, and can stack arrows in a grapefruit sized group out to 30 yards this thing will do it. It is not as forgiving as a full length bow, but then again, that's not what it is intended for. For those of us that shoot and hunt at things at close range, they will get the job done every time. I kinda wish I had one still to blind hunt with, they are perfect for that.
