I run a 9" (1/2 inch taller) recurve available from LRS and Fast Aire(both great companies) and my wife has no issues with turbulence.
I see right over it, hits between nose and mouth height wise, how it is supposed to.
Proper fitiment.
Had a 6.5 KW and could not stand it.

I agree I had the KW 6.5 and it didn't work for me either and the wife would tuck her head down to get a break from the buffeting. Swapped it out for a 7" LRS ultra which works well.

LRS makes a shield specifically designed to help the passenger. It is called a "Flat Top".

I run a 7" one (or maybe 8"...can't remember), and have zero complaints from the Mrs.
