I can only say good things about her so far. The biggest praise I would give the bow is that it doesn't feel at all like I am shooting a cut down longbow.

I am still playing with the strike plate thickness to try and get it to shoot the same arrow as my maddog. After I get that worked out I will be able to do a better comparison, but so far I would say it is definitely a bit of an upgrade.


It's hard trying to put all the subtle differences into words, I wish you guys could just come to Colorado and shoot it for yourselves, I think you all would like it!

Oh man, if you counting on me for an elk hunt the menu will probably consist of tag soup, I'm much betting at sneaking up on the colorado slow elk
