Perfected nostalgia

I’ve been shooting for many years, and so did my dad, with the old iconic Picchio, and we always had great results. Then one day we discovered the odd idea behind this double, triple, or even quadruple evolution — to the point that the old and new bow aren’t even comparable anymore. Because of work and other commitments we didn’t jump straight into the new product, but from a distance we kept seeing constant progress, improvement after improvement. Now that I’ve finally had the pleasure of trying one, I have to say the geometry is nearly perfect. I tried a 64-inch, 33 lb version with a rest, and — against everyone’s expectations — it’s a bow that works even like this, in its most modern setup: three fingers under the nock, a rest, the right arrow tuned, a good string and good aiming ability, and it turns into a rifle capable of shooting straight without issues, cutting down the margin of error in judging distances….. But that’s not all — even in inexperienced hands it manages to create incredible satisfaction, because wherever the bow’s hand points, the arrow goes. So, in short, a bow I’d strongly recommend to anyone who doesn’t know how to aim, so they can join the small circle of those who always hit the 3D target or the spot target — without shutting the door on die-hard gap-shooting enthusiasts either, since without the problem of checking filler or limb alignment anymore, all they’ll need to figure out is the bow’s trajectory to start putting arrows in the ‘super’ — the highest-scoring zone in the target. I’d recommend the 64″ for the modern style, but in my opinion it works just as well for the Mediterranean release too — a draw weight under 35 lb with light arrows around 220 grains, brace height 8, FF string +1/4, 18 strands above 30 lb, 14 to 16 below. Well done, keep it up, Filippo.
