I picked up this old Wing cheap and completely reworked it. I took alot of the meat out of the riser,radiused the shelf and sight window and stippled the grip with a dremel tool and put finger stalls on the front of the grip. I also narrowed the tips.50#@28 and it shots like a totally different bow. I also gave it a complete refinish.
