[John in NZ]

I've owned a number of Samicks and one Great Tree.
The Samicks were all ok with one standing head and shoulders above the rest.
That one being the much maligned SLB 69.
I know some people really don't like the SLB but after taking a rasp to the handle an reshaping it just a tad it shot almost as well as any other longbow I've ever owned, an there's been a few.
The great tree was an impulse buy that got sold on a few weeks later as it stacked something awful and had hand shock out of this world.
Now having said all that I wouldn't really want to own another of either brand because I've spoilt myself with some of the best longbows and recurves you can buy today,and after that there's just no going back.

John.
