RE: chek-mate firebird
I bought a chek-mate firebird on e-bay. At first I thought the limb guide bolts had been wallowed out, causing the limbs to not align properly. I tightened the limb bolts more snugly and that seemed to cure the problem. I am very impressed with the bow however. Mine is 57# @28". I now have the brace height at 8 1/2" which seems to work very well. I have rubber cat whiskers on the bow and it seems quiet. I know you will enjoy the bow.
