I would agree with Arthur. Get a hold of Chad at www.recurves.com you will be glad that you did.

As for any bow with a metal riser if you are hunting in the Boondocks where its cold you will be sorry if you have to carry for long. Wood will not conduct heat( or cold ) like metal making easier to hunt late season. Plus you won't have to worry about that awful metal click when you arrow or anything else hits the riser.

My first bow was a PSE Sable and it shoots OK but you can do better for the money.
