Chad, I for one am very glad chek-mate is around and am very glad I can afford to have multiple chek-mates and not just one 'big shooter'.
I know to many reading these posts it must seem like we're all on the payroll, but the truth is they may not be the bestest bow in the world for everyone...and they may not be liked by everyone. Some people may be slightly dissappointed after hearing all the hoopla......probably not though.
I am convinced that they are the best bow...for the money, and better than many others that havehigherprice tags. I'm talking performance +. If you want to spend more and feel better about a bow that may look more exotic and have an absolutely flawless hand rubbed finishI think that's great. (got one of those too

)
I call the chek-mates 'work horses'and a true value...again, I'm thankful I can find so many different and excellent bow designs at a price I really can afford. To have a bow with such good performance AND good looks under clear glass....that's just a bonus.
Now.....where's my single piece Hunter 2 ?

...actually been thinking more about that and would also suggest a 60" Raven style. Short riser, nice long limbs, good deflex to the handle...man that thing would SMOKE em' .....even if they made it with hybrid longbowlimbs ??? Huh ? huh ?
