    I've been thinking of getting the Greenhorn 'Cyclope' Recurve Riser. Has anyone used one? Does anyone own one? Is it worth getting?

    I thought it would be good to practice and maintain my form. Plus the fact that it's a really good price! :)

    I think they're a beginners bow. That they're not popular should give you the answer you need. You'll find a new or second hand riser of a conventional design easier to purchase, tune and resell.

    The 23" Samick Privilege or SF Axiom risers are cheaper. As is the 25" Cartel Fantom. The 25" Samick Avante is similar in price and the SF Premium riser is just a little more. (Alternative Sporting Services prices)
    I found the Cyclope listed at €110.

    Thanks for the info. Like you say - the fact that they are not popular is enough of a recommendation.

    Found this video on YouTube about this bow. Also FITA rule 7.3.1.1 States that for recurve competition shoot-through risers are not allowed
