Hopefully I won' t get skinned alive for this...

Being in need of a back-up bow, I was going to buy another Chek-Mate Hunter II. I' d been looking at the dealers who carry them in stock for between $270.00 & $310.00. No one had a bow that fit the bill for me in terms of length and draw weight. Then I found out about some of the different exotic woods being offered as " specials" and was on the fence about ordering that way.

I' ve owned three Chek-Mates already, and like them. They' re nice bows.

Then, one afternoon, I was poking around and found a used Palmer that was dead on for what I wanted...and bought it. After shooting the Palmer for just short of two months now, the Chek-Mate' s going to end up playing back-up this year.
