My new longbow came in today and I've already named her Beauty. I then made my way over to Santa Fe Archery to get a nock installed, and shoot inside where it was cool. I am competely impressed with this bow, it took a little for me to get use to, and for the new string to settle in, but then it was lights out. It is a smooth as any recurve I've ever shot, and far smoother than all longbows. Not sure about speed, but it was hitting harder and deeper than my Chinook which is 7lbs heavier.
I will have to recommend one of these bows to anyone in the market for a new longbow, and the guy also makes recurves.
