what can i say...im in love!
Congratulations on the new bow Ben. I was just having a look at a Checkmate Hunter 11 this aftrenoon. The bows are well made and with a beautiful static balance and dynamic balance I can see how they would shoot so well. The cocobolo is a very attractive timber...Glenn...
Sweet dude and nice arrows, now you'll have to shoot a pilbara billy with it this weekend.

Very nice Ben, the Checkmates are great value for your money. By the sounds of it, you won't take long to christen it.
What weight limbs did you end up getting?

Hey Mick, I got the bow from Archery by mail.com, It is the same bow I wanted to order from recurves.com but 9# less, so instead of waiting 6 odd months ill just get another set of limbs and have two :) , It took 11 weeks :shock: :shock: and we dont know why,,, got lost somewhere, there was a letter in it saying it had been at quarantine inspections
Paul they are only 51# at 28, I draw a bit more than 28 so I guess about 55# at my draw
Pedro old "tin ass" cant get time to come hunt so maybe ill get a chance 8) 8)

Dont make me get my pimp hand out Adam :)
My pimp hand is strong, I've been regularly back slapping a boxing bag with your name on it, so watch out.
Did I read somewhere that Urbanhunter lost his compound while hunting with it ;)
