I own one. Best recurve I ever shot. It is smoother shooting than my friend's Paul Schaffer Silvertip bow. It is faster than his old Black Widow and it stacks way, way less than his old Bear takedown.I don't know where the "stacking" rumor is coming from. I don't think it stacks much at all. Mine is marked 55#@28, but I draw it to 31" and it pulls 63# at that length. It is fast and smooth. How much are they asking for it? I paid $300.00 for mine 13 years ago. I don't think that you will be sorry if you buy it.
