It is light in weight, much lighter than the Inno from W&W.
It is very good to shoot, the feel when shooting and on release feels good.
I am not keen on the fittings, they are not stainless or well chromed.
Available with coloured stickers.
It's robustness remains to be seen.

It's light. It's made of carbon. There are some good scores being shot with it. It suits some. It doesn't suit others. What more do you want to know?

Try a search.

On here: Sagittarius Archery Blackboard :: Search
And here: http://www.archery-interchange.com/forum/search.php

Try archery forum and archery talk too - plenty of opinions and discussions for you to get your teeth into.

No-one can tell you if it's right for you or not.... you will have to do some homework I'm afraid.

there isnt that many things heavier than the inno either. It weighs more than my metal marksman one.

The FB was originally designed for ppl who coludnt handle the weight of a cast/forged/CNC riser and stabs (stabs are also available for the FB).

Its very lightweight and comfertable in the hand (to be honest i found it too light) but i think there is an option to add weights if needed?
but sadly i havnt shot it.

I used to shoot an Axis which I loved, it stayed put on full draw because of the weight but my shoulder wouldn't take the weight after the release. I know shoot a FiberBow and love it. This bow does the same thing for the oposite reason, it stays put on full draw and there is no after shock and I don't drop my bow arm because of the pain the weight causes. It is wonderful to be shooting again and this wouldn't have happend if it wasn't for the FiberBow.

I do however suggest you go and try one for yourself and I don't mean just picking it up, shoot it and shoot it with different limbs and different stabilisers as well as your own.
