Chad honestly the only thing I liked better was the grip.The firebird has a slightly smaller grip that just sets in the hand a little more natural for me.So far I have a 56 hunter a firebird and a falcon and I think they are all great bows.Right now performance wise the 56" hunter is best comfort wise the firebird is best.I have a hunter 2 coming (hopefully this week) and the 56" cujo special I just ordered from you.I don't think there is a bad choice when it comes to a checkmate recurve but with a little time I will try them all lol
