Borkholder is the only retailer I found selling this bow at this price, including RPM direct, so if you’re in the market this is the place to do it. Bow shipped quickly and came assembled, manual was included, no missing parts or damage. The bow needed a teardown for lubing up and hinge screw tightening, but that’s normal for these bows.
The bow itself has been great so far. I have only been shooting barebow target with it as of now using a Bodoodle Timberdoodle 2 rest. Tried with let-off both on and off, it shoots well either way. I found max poundage with the let-off on to be the most fun to shoot and powerful enough to do the job comfortably.
My experiences with setup and maintenance so far: I was getting fletching contact on one of the yoke strings upon maxing out the poundage, but that was fixed by rotating out the cable slide to as far as it goes. Be sure to check your arrow clearance when you adjust the poundage. After maxing the limbs, the tiller was also off by about an inch and needed adjustment so be sure to check that too. It’s a bit of a pain to measure tiller accurately but it’s doable. Also the The cable slide screws are kind of dinky, but no other problems on the hardware so far.
I don’t have experience with other camless lever bows, but I am very happy with what I got. It’s fun to shoot, fun and easy to tune/maintain, looks awesome, turns heads at the range, and it’s extremely affordable. Haven’t taken it bowfishing yet but I can’t see where I might have any problems. Still, if anything turns up after I try it out I’ll see if I can edit this review.
