Default RE: got a new CheckMate Thunderbird

A couple more views as requested. And a brief description of it's shooting qualities:
The Thunderbird is a very smooth shooting bow. Very little if any handshock. A little noise without string silencers, but that's minimal and silencers should take care of it. Good arrow speed. Tolerant of spine variations over a 10 - 15# range (my bow is 54# at 28" which is my draw length and I've shot arrows from 50/55 to 60/65 spine in it with decent flight from all. Groups change a little of course but flight stays good.
All things considered I'd rate at as in a dead tie for the best shooting longbow I've personally shot, the other being a 3-Rivers tomahawk SS, but the Thunderbird is close to 1/2 the price of the Tomahawk SS, so let's give it #1 spot!
