RE: Check-mate Crusader
The Raven is a great little bush/treestand/ground blind bow, if you draw 28" or less. More than that, you are probably gonna feel a bit of stack. It is, like most any short bow, a little more picky with brace height and silencer placement--can be noisy if you don't take the time to get those right. It's a hunting bow for sure. Just got one with a cocobolo riser and Macassar ebony veneer on the limbs--looks wicked!
