I own one and love it. A very nice little recurve that is smooth drawing and hits where I point. No complaints....Checkmate makes a fine bow...I draw 27" , mine is 55# at 28"

As an aside, been thinking about selling to get another with lower weight, I shoot the ~52# well, but might shoot a 48 or 49 a little better. I seem to like the lighter poundage in bows...shoot me an email if you want, maybe you can convince me
