Anybody own or shoot one of these bows? If so what do you think of it?

The RK1 is a decent bow, i shoot the recurve in 2017 in competition for a while. Quick, quiet and it's a decent bow. But the grip didn't fit me, low wrist and hard yo get consistent hand placement. If you're used to shooting longbows with a low grip, it might fit you. It's very thin, and lots of guys wrap it to build it up. It's very light in hand, most guys add quivers and short stabilizers to add weight to the bow.

It's not as popular as New Breed wanted, priced very high and replacement limbs are costly as well. I don't shoot mine anymore. Some guys like em, some don't.

I had the recurve version, got it in a trade. Fine bow in every way - light, fast and quiet, but, personally, I came to realize that I just don't like the feel of a metal riser. Sold it after shooting it for 4 months. Never hunted with it.

I might add that New Breed is an outstanding company to do business with, customer service is second-to-none. And the bow comes with a transferrable lifetime warranty.

Awesome bow!!! I own 3 striker bows and there all great bows but the RK1 gives you some adjustability with there side plate shims to move the side plate to help with tuning, you can also put a elevated rest or stabilizer if you so desired. It’s fast, quiet and deadly!
