got to shoot for a bit last night.  i have a feeling i'm going to really like this bow.  i can't believe how quiet and smooth it is compared to my old bear black panther!  wow!  i also ordered the bow hush and hush puppies yesterday, so i bet that will only help too-  

thanks again to the kind reception-

Welcome from another ChekMate shooter.  Just selling one and buying another.  Too bad I don't still live in NM or I'd look you up.  I sure miss my green chilies and my elk hunting and my Los Alamos Sportsmans club.  Steve
