My cousin got one for Christman.  I helped him set it up.  I shot it a few times, but I prefer longbows.  It was quiet, shot a mixed bag of arrows (carbon, wood, and aluminum)well.  It was not the fastest, but it was nowhere near the slowest. He has had the bow for only 5 months so I cannot say how long it will last.  It seems to be a solid and reliable bow.

It's an okay bow to start with, but you will grow out of it. For not a lot more money, you can get a much better bow that will last you longer. I started with a Samick.

I have a Samick Leopard, I bought it last winter.  It's my first recurve, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but for me it shoots pretty well, at least as well as I can.

A friend of mine bought a Leopard also. It's very quiet and I shoot it really well. It stacks pretty hard at 27 1/2", my friend draws 27" so no worries for him.

I would agree that it stacks pretty hard.  I'm shooting it at about 29 inches and it does stack quite a bit the last inch or so.  Other than that it shoots pretty nice.
