Topic: Question about smg artificial horn bow

Hello, I have recently purchased a 40#smg artificial horn bow but still waiting for it to ship. I've read on this forum that many owners say it is a pleasant bow to shoot but there is one thread that mention 6 out of 10 such bow broke. I wonder why they fail while many owners love them. Can it be because of bad treatment or just a defective lot. I'm using 30# Kaya KTB I got a few months ago and my draw length is 32 inches. I really look forward to try this bow.

Re: Question about smg artificial horn bow

Ok, the bow arrive yesterday safely and nicely packed. Thank you Mechwar for assisting in the buy. Went out to the range today and shot for about and hour and a half. Compare to my Kaya KTB 30#, the Kaya is very easy to draw for the first half but start to feel heavier near 30" and I hit the wall at around 32-32.5". This is also true with my friend's Kaya 40# and 45# as they draw nicely for the first half and stack badly toward the max draw length. The 40# artificial horn SMG begin to draw heavier but have similar draw weight all the way to about 32" which I find that I like more than the Kaya. the bamboo arrows I have are 400+grains and they fly nice and flat. I will try the bow scale and plot the force draw curve for this bow compare to the Kaya if I have a chance but right now I feel the SMG have a much flatter curve.
