Well my brand new chek-mate falcon came in the mail today and what a pretty bow its smooth and sleek and I can't wait to start practicing, but unfortunetly I pulled a muscle in my should at work and its still on the mend but getting better everyday. Its a fantastic feeling to just hold a traditional bow compared to my compound(that I sold). I see now how people get hooked on it and I haven't even shot my new falcon yet. can't wait to get to the range and practice.
