This is an outstanding bow. I've shot it next to several $1500 bows, and it holds its own even there. The handle is rather large, which was not a problem for me. The only nag was that the manufacturer did not round off the bevels enough for my sense of grip. (Samick, you should know better!) . A few minutes with file and sandpaper handled that. No harm to the looks- the wood pattern is authentic, and not just on the surface. The Voyager is is very solid- it shot all my arrow weights nicely. No ugly sounds or vibrations with the lighter arrows. I use cat whiskers to eliminate any residual vibrations. The arrows are released very smoothly, with very little "hand Shock". I have a little longer draw than the recommenced 28". The bow does not seem to stack much at all up to 30.5". The Amazon listing and package insert got the brace height wrong, according to my research. The packaged string will not allow the 7 1/2" - 8" brace height, as it is too short for that. But if you know Samick bows you may recognize the Voyager from earlier days as the Devastator, which had a recommended brace height of 8 4/16" - 9 3/16". Mine shoots fine at 8 1/4". This one is a keeper. Happy shooting.
