Plenty info out there.
What is it? Hoyt Sky trophy, later Matthews Sky trophy or Falco trophy?

Seems like no-one here has that bow. Do some 'googling' and read past 'page one', easy! It looks like a very big European (Italian-based?) dealer called 'Big Archery' who carefully choose the pick of bows and are large enough to have a separate 'Big Traditional' catalogue. They have a good range of well-known bows including the cheaper ones like the low-cost Samicks and Martins. Certainly a professional presentation and a good website.

Lancaster Archery in Aus. will know of the Dealers as they stock other bits of theirs like cases and stringers but they don't have that bow unless under another Brand name.

It is a good looking bow but for that price? I saw the Euro price on one site was less than $250, so I think it is too expensive at $450 especially against the Samicks etc. at Lancaster from $200. Where they also have bow reviews worth reading btw if you want a cheaper longbow.

The youtube video doesn't show much, the guy short draws it all the time.

The Managing Director of archery for BigNami informs us the trophy is made for them in Korea. Some good bows come from Korea, i would go look at it.
