The one thing I love about self bows are they can be retillered whenever you decide to change to a lighter bow. I just got mine retillered for the upcoming deer season and she is shooting like a dream. I took a lot of the wood off the sides and not so much of the belly and didn't have to do much retillering. Those Osage self bows can really last a lifetime and as you get older can adapt to your hunting needs. I guess you could say they are the perfect bow. Watch out deer here I come.lol
