Dean, I recently purchased a used Ghost 60" 54@28 (not super). This bow is awesome. I have not got it tuned to the proper arrow yet. I am waiting on some shafts. But does it let em fly. I don't  have enough knowledge to hand out advice, so I'll leave that to others. But the feeling in hand is good and it seems strong with little or no shock.

I shoot a Ghost and it is very smooth and fast. I have shedua riser and osage limbs. What I like about the ghost is the short riser and long working limb.

I do not have one, but I guy I went with on a hog hunt last year had a 50# Ghost. He shot a decent sized pig with a 2016 and old green Bear Razorhead. It zipped right through! It was real quiet and fast.

Dean,

Jerry should have several of them at the show in Kalamazoo.  They usually have a very nice and plentiful display of their bows.

IMHO this is the best bow I ever owned and I have owned Robertsons, Widows, Morrisions, "etc" all nice bows but the SG is overall a fantastic bow. It is smooth, very quiet, and very well made.  Mine is osage limbs and Shedua handle. This bow has graceful lines and is light in hand you will not be disappointed in how it performs.

You may be attracted to other bows with pretty woods and things, but they do not shoot any better.

I have a regular Ghost.  Kind of partial to the straight grip.  Anyway, mine has all bamboo laminations, no veneers.  Compared to any other recurve or hybrid that I've shot at the same weight, it is smoother, quieter, faster and lighter in the hand.  I'll always have at least one Ghost in my stable.

I have a lefthanded superghost--hickory with rosewood riser 60 inch--58@28----but----52@26 with my 26 inch draw.It is smooth quiet fast and light to carry.This bow is a companion bow to my G.N.Fireball---same woods-- same poundage except the Fireball is 62inch----to me the best of both worlds.
