RE: Fedora Recurve
Ahhhh... yes TJ, it's here to stay. 
I better watch it or I'm gonna get neutered over here. Ad police are on the prowl.
No offense, Darrel... and yes that may be. It is listed in the "Classifieds" also. I prefer to give fellow recurve shooters a heads-up where the exposure best fits the audience. I'm sure admin will pull if desired. Thanks for the advice!
Maybe I should have given it a reveiw and just a small mention that it's listed on the classifieds....
FEDORA '560' Hunter Review -
I was first stricken by this recurve's appearance. The limbs have a great curl and the hand grip has a good fitting contour. I have found that this bow (all Fedora's for that matter) have very good shootability. Of course, they do not have the heavy riser mass as most T/D's do, but I guess that is what surprised me the most. The deep hand grip, Fedora's trademark thumb rest, and stable limb action combine to make for a bow that definitely shoots where you point it. It is much quieter and faster than many of the one-piece recurves I have shot at this poundage. It is cut 3/16" past center and handles a variety of arrow spines very nicely. Stringing the bow must be done carefully, as the limb tips above the string nock are very narrow and very short. I believe this is what provides, in part, the quickness and liveliness of this bow. I have two Fedora '560's and will not let both of them go.
