I find it hard to believe that nobody on THIS board has an opinion.

I have a bow made by Champion. I have the Champion Sabre, it is one of their lower end bows. It shoots great. I would not hesitate to buy another Champion bow.

Im also in the market and looking at a champion saber I havent heard anything but good reports. I keep heaing its a great bow and preforms much like bows twice as costly. How is the vibration and such with it?

Champion makes a great bow for the money & they are a good all around bow. You should be more than happy with the Storm, like anything else shoot them before buying!

Sorry, I haven' t been on the Net in awhile, been busy bowhunting!. I own a Champion Stratus. Brand new last year. They no longer have this model for 2003 to my knowledge. Its the best bow I' ve ever owned, I love it. I looked and shot several brands, and models before I bought the Champion. I shot my Stratus, and the Contender side by side to a Mathews. I honestly couldn' t see a big difference f for the price. I' ve also shot the storm, nice bow! I spoke to two Champion dealers on any possible problems. 1 dealer hadn' t had any returned with problems. The other had just one come back with a small splinter on a limb. He called Champion, and they shipped him two new limbs to put on the bow, no questions asked. They are made in Canada, and are very popular there. I also bought my oldest son a Champion Badger this year.
Both bows were ordered through a local dealer, and I had them within 2wks of order. They have a unlimited lifetime warranty that covers everything except strings, cable, and the grip.

I find the Champion Mustang, the Hurricane or the Spitfire all to be quite similar bows, (hunting set-up). For targets, 3D, The Contender or Wildcat. However they are the newer 2003' s, same models which comes with a smaller 2.9" idler wheel and the Tracker II cam (more radical) and I find this set up to be less forgiving. Faster, less vibration out of the box...but a little more time practising to get your set-up and yourself tuned.
The Older model Mustang with the 3-1/2" idler wheel and the laser cam is quite a forgiving bow, but needs some accessories, ( I' m using the limb savers), as there is some recoil, (hand shock), vibration, if shot in the basis stock set-up.
Not as fast--as their new modles, but still gets the job done. A pretty quiet bow, reasonably priced, but like any bow the cost will add up when adding accessories (e.g. custom string & cable) to enhance the performance.
My choice for the ' relaxed' hunting set up....no stress or fears of ' not' being able to draw at the ' moment of truth' is the older Mustang set @ 55 #' s, 27 " Gold Tip 3355 carbons, 100g expandables or mechanicals (either works well with this bow) in total weighting about 360 grains, developing about 242 fps with a kinetic of about 44 ft lb.

Nice bows for the money. Check, they might have a life-time warranty also.

I had a Champion Titan and really like it. Fast, quiet accurate, forgiving....all around a great bow. I talked to the company on a few occasions as I bought it second hand and they were very gracious and told me they' d honor the warranty should anything go wrong.

Nothing ever did.

I sold it to my brother and he' s still shooting it and loves it as well.
Very underrated bow Co. IMO.
