Used to be called the Samick Journey, but now it is more refined. Easy decision. Get one, and don't look back. You do not have to apologize to anyone if you get one. Truly an outstanding bow, especially for the price.

I have one ( actually Samick Journey and Spyder XL), and it/ they shoot as well -or better than $600+++ bows. I have done well with it, and high!y recommend it.


I'll give a thumbs-up for the Spyder XL. I picked one up a few months ago, great shooting bow.

I started shooting the traditional bows almost three years ago. I have accumulated a few bows now, including a Toelke, Discovery, Satori, a few others.

The Spyder is my lowest price bow, and it shoots as good as any of them.
