shot one at the local archery shop and share the same view. Shoots nice, smooth draw, and I have a 29 inch draw. The price was the down side for me, the fact that it is a shelf bow is a huge advantage that I would greatly consider as the rest of my collection are shelf bows(except one). The one take down that I own is metal riser with all of the attachments of a compound and it does shoot a little different making it diffucult to change between the different styles.
