dbl lock,
Let me know what your email address is and I' ll email you a bunch of pictures of different Chek-Mate Bows. I have been leaning towards the Hunter II with I believe is there most popular seller. You can learn more about them by doing a search for chek with the search feature. Chad " LBR" Weaver can tell you all you need to know and build an awesome string to boot.

Best of luck,

Traditionalist

you' ve come to the right forum. an awful lot of us here shoot CM bows. I have a TD 64" Crusader. Excellent longbow.

I have 2 64" Crusader longbows. Sweet shooting, pretty bows and all for a great price. They are kind of like Lays potato chips, you can' t have just one

Chad is the man to talk to.

Nope, noone here owns any.

Like a few of the others have said, you may be able to twist Chads arm enough to have him help you out. I think he might just know what he' s talking about. (I cant believe I just said that [>:] )

We own a couple of them as well. The wife shoots a 60" Hunter II TD recurve and I shoot a 66" TD Crusader longbow. Both are superbly crafted, hold their own speed wise with many custom bows costing a whole lot more and both are excellent shooters.

My only experience is with the Hunter II & I love it. The quality far exceeds the cost. You can' t touch most production bows for what Chek-Mate asks for their custom-built models. Awesome bargain. Whether the Hunter or HII, you can have the grip made to your specs (send them a grip you like), with a low, med or high wrist. For the true high-wrist fan, I believe the HII is best suited for your needs, IMHO anyway.
