Overall, it would be a big upgrade from the cheap brazilwood I've been playing for the last couple of years. I don't know how it competes with other wood bows in its own price range, though . . .

You are in NY so you could easily go see Arnold and Jeff and try some of my KSB Bows. If they weren't good, they wouldn't bother selling them. They have been compared at times with other Bows up to 10x their price. I would much rather feel warm wood than cold plastic in my hands.

If I couldn't do it better, I wouldn't bother. I have enough to do as it is so if I take something else on, there is usually a good reason for it.
