just shot it for the first time about an hour ago. its left handed and i'm not so it was a little awkward for me. and an the first shot i wacked the crap out of my arm. that'll teach me to shoot without an arm guard. on the other hand, it does sling an arrow. the draw weight is 56# at 28in right now. hoping i can get it down to about 50# after its all said and done.
