Title: Lets see your Checkmates
Post by: buckster on December 23, 2009, 11:16:00 AM

I am getting ready to order a new HunterII from Chad.  Need some help choosing my wood selection.

If anyone would be so kind, would appreciate seeing some pics of your pretty CM,s.  Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone

Here are some photos of my Checkmate Cascade. I think the woods are bubinga and cocobolo.

These are so nice!  Do they shoot as good as they look?

Love to, but Whip is getting it first (trip to the Bow Hospital next week).

I just put a newer prototype Chek Mate up for sale in the classifieds that has a bunch of pictures. It has a phenolic riser with some accent stripes and smaller grip than some of the older models. Marc makes a very nice bow that's priced right for the average working man.

yup, they shoot as good as they look

Hadrick,

I wish the RH prototype was a lefty!  I talked with Chad recently, you can NOT order the new prototype with the phenolic handle, so I presume that they may be kinda a "one-on" for some lucky RH archer.  But on the positive side, the smaller grips are now available.

I am kinda hoping this changes.

That phenolic riser looks great. I just decided not to buy anymore bows that I didn't shoot first or I think I'd buy that prototype!

Thanks for the compliments.  He's a special buck.  My father had seen him the previous two days-- even saw him breed a doe.  I rattled him up with a 125" 8-point and stuck him.

Nice looking bows, I was looking at getting one but wanted to shoot one first. They are not coming to any shows close to me.
