Terry, for hunting purposes, it is the best bow I have come across. Light, and suprisingly stable for such a short bow (30.5" ATA). You won't split arrows at 40 yds with it, but it comes mighty close. My total arrow weight is 375g, and my bow is as quiet as any. I have thought about beefing up on my arrow weight, but I really don't see the need yet. The Mighty Mite is one of the best sellers in my area.
