I have a Firefly that has a wenge riser and rem elm limbs. It is 50#@30", and is a fine bow.
It has a comfortable grip, and is very stable. IMO it is a great bow at a great price.

I've never shot one, but I've never heard a bad thing about them.

Great bow and design.  Shoots as well and fast as any I have had; including custom Widows.

I bought one a year ago used. 
A good looker indeed....however it was a "doggy" shooter for the weight.

I owned several Fireflies over the years, in fact a buddy still owns two of the ones I had. They are a great bow. Smooth, quiet, forgiving, and plenty quick. I think you will be impressed.

I have had a new 40# Firefly of his new design for the last month.  I tested it against three high dollar bows I have at 45#.  The Firefly was the fastest. I am very happy with workmanship and the performance.
