I have a low draw weight but the bow feels like I'm shooting something heavier. Not much vibration and the handle is well balanced. I also love the grip, It's very comfortable.
Couple things to consider:
- The limb pockets offers a wider than usual range of draw weight. But if you are shooting close to the minimum setting, you need to set your brace height higher than usual (and higher than what's in the instruction manual). For example at 70" the brace height needs to be around 11"-11.5". Otherwise the limbs are not bent enough and the bow makes a weird sound.
- The included grip is said to be "medium" but it's a bit lower than your typical medium grip. Personally I like the feeling, but if you prefer a higher grip, you will need to buy another one.
Special orders receive top priority and are given prompt attention.
While larger items like bows may not always be readily available, many special order items are consistently kept in stock.
The general turnaround time for special orders is a minimum of 8 weeks, depending on the lead times set by the manufacturer.
Certain bows, such as compound bows, olympic recurve risers and limbs as well as traditional recurve bows, are exclusively made to order directly from the manufacturer if "special order" is indicated. They cannot be cancelled or refunded if special ordering.
We strive to meet the deadlines mentioned above and make every effort to do so. Due to extreme lack of availability and stock within the Archery industry, lead times are only estimates.
Cancelling special order items depends on the product type. For those that can be cancelled, the following fee's may apply.
- A 5 percent restocking fee will be charged if the order has been fulfilled.
- A 2.5 percent admin fee will apply to backorders cancelled within 8 weeks.
Some products such as custom made, made-to-order or special order bows cannot be cancelled. Many of these items are brought in from overseas or made specially by the manufacturer upon an order being placed.
