I just tied up a Scottish monster, The Covert Hunter HEX 7 H super recurve. I have never had concerns stringing a bow till tonight. These massive recurve tips are intimidating to string. The thought of doing it without a stringer make me shudder. Definitely this bow must be strung with a saddle type stringer.
Now for some first impressions. As expected the workmanship on the bow is impeccable. A flaw of any kind can not be found. It is without question flawless.
Now the limbs. WOW. I didn't do a lot of shooting as time is limited tonight, but this bow has a draw that just screams speed. Early draw weight is definitely abundant , and this means performance on every limb I have shot that has early weight. I did a partial draw down to get an idea of what was going on and at 20" the scale said 41#, and at 28" it read 50.6#.Hmmmm this looks impressive, but not nearly as seeing 51.3# at 29".I won't turn on the chrono until it is tuned proper, silenced and I find a good arrow combination , but I do know this bow is going to turn up some big numbers.The grip is great, and it feels so nice after the shot.
