they are nice bows, but one of the reason I did not choose one was that it was noisy. The reason I went to the Parker Thunder Hawk, lighter and quieter. The noise is more annoying to you, as I do not see a deer, jumping that bow its that fast, and as stated above, its already over with before you know it. I do like the looks of the recurve limbs and for remote long hunts, the ease of string replacement, so that bow has a lot of pluses going for it..........................
