I have a 64" recurve at 44 lbs.  It is the smoothest and easiest bow I have ever shot.  It's a great bow.

I bought a Dakota from BOHO... Just got it today.  Did you say it is a 2008?  Or were you referring to another bow?

I don't have a ton of recurve experience but it is much smoother and quieter than my Martin and the Bear I learned to shoot with years ago.

I like it so far.  It was different having the shelf so close to my hand but I shot it pretty well.
