LBR is a moderator here. PM him or wait for his reply here, he can probably tell you anything you want to know about the Chek-mates. Also, http://www.women-outdoors.com/traditional/bowyers.htm is a great site i found out about here. It has enough links to trad. bowmakers to keep ya busy, and drooling, for a couple of days.
