I'm In Love!
 
Went to the range and shot the new Check-Mate today. I love it. I hate to admit it but I can shoot the Check-mate 200% better than my own longbows. I will be hunting with the check-mate. I'm impressed! Dick

Is D4B still &quot;fawning&quot; over his new Chekmate?

D4B,

There's enough peer pressure to try one of the Crusaders from the other fellas on this forum without you being so expressive! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm gad you enjoy, how's that for understatement, your Crusader. I'm gonna have to look around and see if I can find a used one at a good price!

Chad,

Do you know of any that's available? Would they take a Firebird in trade? I would prefer 64&quot; in the 54-57# range. Thanks!

Bill

Dick,

When that sharp broadhead pierces just behind the shoulder of that buck or bull, I doubt you will be ashamed!

Well.....was it worth the wait?

(I'll bet he says yes)

Jason, I almost canceled my order. Yes, it's worth the wait. I don't know if I would have ordered it if I'd known there was a year wait though. I was looking at a Swrew too but they told me that WAS a one year wait. Too long. Dick

RE: I'm In Love!
 
Dick4bows - is the crusader a two piece ? How do you like that ? My Adcock is a 3 piece and very solid and I was wondering. You have my intrest up on the Crusader - I have finally came to the realism that longbows are for me and recurves are not.

Dick4bows 01-15-2002 01:23 PM

RE: I'm In Love!
 
Stealthy, It's not the Crusader, it's the T/D Hunter. I make my own longbows. I haven't tried making a recurve yet and now that I have the Hunter, I don't have any reason to. It's 62&quot; with 2 sets of limbs (45# & 55#). Black Locust limbs wirh a Imbuia and Shedua riser. The bow was a bit noisey until I raised the brace height and added whiskers. The bow is now VERY quiet. I'm happy! Dick
