I have been shooting Traditional since 1998 with mixed results. I have almost given up once or twice. In the last 5 years, I have tried many many bows and just haven' t found the right one. Some shot good but were noisey, some stacked, some were smooth but slow, some just didn' t feel right. I have owned some of the better bows out there and all had good points but each had some little thing I just couldn' t adjust to. WELL, I bought a Chekmate hunter I from a dealer. It is a greybark and Bibinga riser with greybark limbs and 53 lbs. at 28" . It draws like a 45 lb. bow and shoots like a 60 lb. bow. The grip(which has been a poblem with many bows) was a little ackward like several bows I' ve owned but after a few days it started to feel like part of my hand. The dealer put a set of spider legs about the size of a quarter on the string and the bow is dead quiet and all I' ve done is set the nocking point. I think I have found MY magical bow
. I have shot some of the best groups of my life in the last couple of weeks. I also have a special 56" hunter I got from LBR and it shoots almost as good as my hunter I but this bows seems to be the ONE. I have a custom Hunter I ordered from LBR and just hope it shoots like this one.Sorry to be so long winded but just wanted to share with everyone. Don
