Default RE: got a new CheckMate Thunderbird

Still haven't had time to really shoot it, but I did string it and install a nocking point. I have an indoor target with 40 ft max range, and it seemed to shoot OK at my standard nock setting. I braced it at 7 1/2" to allow for some string stretch. My first arrows were slightly left, but they may be a little overspined for the new bow. After 3 shots I was right on target. Shot a couple more and quit while I was hitting the bullseye. I hope to get out and do some real testing this weekend, some "stump shooting".
I am impressed with the looks of the shedua/walnut combo. Wasn't too sure how dark limbs with a lighter riser would look, but I like it! I also haven't installed any string silencers yet, but was amazed as to how quiet it seems without them. I'll add a set, but I'm not sure it even needs them.
