Last bow I bought was a ChekMate Kings Pawn recurve. I've sworn off compounds and wanted a recurve. I have to have stickbows custom built to draw without stack to my ape-armed draw length. I got the Kings Pawn because it was an incredibly good price for a custom bow. I make my own longbows, but don't have a recurve form. The price of the Kings Pawn was less than it would cost to buy the materials to make a form, and then buy the materials to make the bow, so I just placed the order for the bow instead. I'm still gonna make my own recurve someday... maybe this summer...

When you're your own bowyer, you know the workmanship and customer service will be outstanding.
