Just received the Chek-Mate Firebird in the mail today. I just have to say that I am really impressed as to how this recurve shoots and the quality of how well this bow looks and the workmanship of detail, the power of the limbs, I can just go on and on, but, ya, Impressive!! Just a well built bow and I only paid under half of what I would of paid for a brand new one, I practically stole this one off e-bay, well me and my brother... Now we'll have to see how we are going to settle this matter, we are both left handed, I think I just wont' let him shoot it. I know this bow is a little short, but I will say it performs excellent, and will work out perfectly in the woods for hunting...Any other opinions out there on the Chek-mates--pros or cons...Funny thing is I did'nt know anything about Chek-mate bows till I started reading this forum. So I say, I tip my hat to all of you, who have mentioned this bow on here, for me to find such a great bow, Thanks...
