Thyanks very much for the advice offered. I also did a little search in regards PSE and CheckMate. Other bows (read "more expensive&quot are not an option at this time. I'll be going with a CheckMate Falcon, 52#@27. OpinionS? Bowhunter, for me, archery (not only Trad), is ajourney. It has become a journey of discovery in many ways and I have no doubt that the trad way will add a further dimension.
