Cyrille:
 I have two "Ravens" one 50#@30" and the other 58#@30" The blurb says it takes a 50.3 string but I am using a 50" string and have found that it has made the bow a wee bit more accurate. @ my DL of 28" I am shooting around 50 or 52#s with the 58#@ 30 bow and about 42#s @ my draw length with the 50#s @ 30" bow I find that I am a tad more accurate with the 58#bow than with the 50# bow. I shoot three fingers under @! 20 or 25 yds.

"The Raven*
In 2002 Kassai designed the Raven as a general purpose bow. It is a refinement of the general purpose bow that started his business, the Magyar Sport. The Magyar Sport has been Kassai’s and my best selling bow for several years, but the Raven’s performance is such an improvement that I no longer stock the Magyar Sport. The Raven’s syhas are longer and the belly shorter and broader. The tips of the bow come to a rugged point. Unstrung 57.5 inches long, strung 54 inches tall. It takes a 50.3 inch string (same as the Magyar Sport). The syhas are 14 inches long, the belly 34 inches long and 1.9 inches wide. Available from 25# to 60#."

PNewton:
Thanks for the information Cyrille. The Raven is the one I have been thinking about.

Cyrille:
It truly and pleasantly surprised me at how accurate the "Raven" is with my set-up. Here's hoping you find that if you purchase one it is as pleasant to shoot and as accurate as mine. Good luck and may Artemis smile upon you.

loon:
The siyahs look a bit overbuilt, though... might help to replace the stitched leather wrap with something else too.

A refurbishing of one of those may make an interesting thread.

Well why not take your Mead bow and do a refurbishing job? Then let us know how it turns out.
