Post by: joevan125 on December 18, 2011, 11:27:00 AM
If so will it stand my 30in draw and how well are they built, finish, shooting etc.

Thanks

Not sure on the draw length issue, but Roman makes them with up to 64" limbs so I would think you'll be OK.

I love mine.  Fit and finish is superb.  It is exceptionally fast and very forgiving.  Definitely a top tier bow in my opinion.

Contact 4runr here on TG.  He may know of someone with a long draw you could talk to as reference.

Roman does exceptional work and stands by his quality.

I was the guy who pushed Roman to build that design..
  I draw 29.   No problems. i just went down and overdrew it to 31. No stacking felt. Mine is 65 #
The finish is very good. Thunderbird .  
Mine shoots a heavy arrow really well. I used this one to win a world championship 3d  in 2007 NFAA.  So it was accurate that day.
I would suggest U order woods that give the handle some weight.  It's worth the extra  cost.
I think it is a good bow

You can see a few of them on the new website. I plan to make a trip to Roman's between Christmas and New Year for more pics and updates on "in stock" bows available.

The wait time on new orders is currently at @ 6 months.
