I just picked up a Habu Death Adder from Trad Gang... Its a totally different kind of longbow that i have ever shot. The limbs mount to the back of the handle, and the handle looks a lot like a Widow handle..

I am still in Iraq, so I obviously havent shot it yet, as it was sent to the bow shop for me. Anybody ever shot one of these? If so, what are your thoughts on it? For the price, I couldnt pass it up, and if I dont like it, I can easily trade it for a nice longbow for recurve, without losing anything.

I like the riser and if it handles like all the other bows that I have shot (with that riser) it is gonna be sweet

They are so hard to come by especially if you got it for a fair price. Super quick bows.
