Buddy of mine has one. It is the recurve with the longbow type riser. I shot it some and liked it. I didn't think it was faster than it's weight though. Shot several bows that day, The one he had that I liked was an old Bear TD 60# . 3 rivers and blackwidow used to sell a tuning set of shafts. several spine weights so you could try each one to see which was appropriate. With the correct brace height and nock height, your bow will shoot the correct shaft with a field tip straight at 20 yards with no fletchings or vanes. That is the way I pick my shafts. After that it's easy to fletch one up and stabilize the same weight broadhead.
