my partner has a black swan reverse handle lb. Man we couldnt get squat to fly from it. I built up a dz 50-55's for my partners wife and we all hit the range one monday nite. I had a itch to try it. I snatched her hole quiver of arras and proceeded to shoot that bow as well as I shot my crusader 10 of 12 in the white or touching the rest in the next ring! Man I was SHOCKED LOL! I tried snagging it from him...ya right, LOL! dunno what it does as far as performance. If you have seen some of Howard Hills photos you will se one where he is shootin backwards with a reverse handled longbow, I believe it was overseas doing some trick shots.
