I know it looks a bit different but gives it a similar feel to a recurve. In terms of stability in the hand this is second to none.
I too had a shot of Roberts bow. At the time I thought it was ok but when I got home and started to think about it I knew that I had to have one. This is one of only 4 made to date, all owned by top archers
- up until now :shock: :shock:

We will have to see if I can earn my stripes 8)
