I have been considering the purchase of a recurve bow and cannot justify spending $300-400. That restriction pretty much limits my choices. Martin offers their X-200 model for a bit over $200. I have seen this bow and it is a fairly simple bow; now fancy riser wood. Just a basic bow. Does anyone have any experience with this bow that can offer their observations?

Can I expect this bow to shoot as well as Martin' s more expensive bows?

Thanks in advance.
