My journey on the "primitive" side started with a PSE Cheyenne. No unhappy memories but this bow moved out the day the CM Falcon Deluxe, 57#@28", arrived. Then I had to try the CM longbow. My first was a 66" T/D Crusader, 56@28. Next was a 62" 'Sader (recommended by Chad), yew & cocobolo, 54@27. I still have all three of these; the Falcon has been "dormant for a few months while the 'custom' 'Sader has accounted for my first 2 primitive kills - whitetail doe, mulie buck.
Arrows are homemade from Chundoo shafts.
