Hope you like that bow Danny.  I heard they can be a beast for noise and instability, as those limbs are pushed way ahead of the riser pivot.  Let us know if that's true or just bunk 8^).
I don't think anyone really "needs" a lot of bows, but that's not why we buy 'em.  *^).

Danny,

The bow has a very low BH.  I hope you use an armguard. Either that, or I hope you put a bit of a bend in your elbow and roll your bow hand with your grip so your forearm rotates away from the string.  I was bitten by the one I had for a few days and it wasn't fun!     :biglaugh:

LOL. I saw that bow just the other day and thought it looked beautiful. I'm not in the market for a bow, but I now see why I need to shoot and learn for quite some time before buying a bow.

As many here might advise, looks are everything. But it truly is a sweet looking bow.

OS-OK, your in Indiana, so you won't here it from Guam.  You'd hear it if I was shooting it WI.

I've  wanted one of those every since I read about E.T. Williams in T.B. magazine many years ago. Looked like a very nice bow.

I have one of these bows going on 10 yrs now. Its a 61" and likes a 5 7/8" bh. I never have problems with it hitting my arm but will throw on an arm guard if I'm bulked up on clothes just to keep them outta the way. Its 57 lbs at 28 and throws a 587 gr arrow at 180fps. On a good day I can send 5 arrows into a 3" circle at 25yds. It was a little noisy with the beaver balls but I threw on some yarn balls and its as quiet as any other bow I've shot. The animals never hear it on the shot, they've all just stood there while I sent the arrow clean thru em.

Hope you like it Danny, I sure as heck like mine.

That's too bad.  Those bows shoot 212 F.P.S.... they DO... I saw it in the magazine ad  :saywhat:  

Hope you find another somewhere down the road, Danny.  Sorry this time didn't pan out.
