picked up a CM Falcon(and a Firebird!)

[attack]

Got about 100 arrows through it yesterday, was mostly helping a buddy get his compound setup. I will say this about the bow, it is very very forgiving, even if I colapse a bit or have a poor release, the arrow still impacted within a couple inches of where I intended at 20 yards and I was getting great 6 to 8 inch groups at 35 yards. Lots of fun shooting this bow.

Shot a really fun 3d today. Only brought the Firebird. First round was a wash, I could have shot better, I could have shot worse. Shot from the trad pegs. Second round my buddy and his compound were bugging me about shooting from the kids tee. So I shot the second round from the compound pegs and I shot great. Nailed a few really long shots. Small bear at 48 yards, 10 ring! Was my best shot of the day. I even took a few shots from the "Extreme" pegs... These were either another 10 yards or involved some kneeling down or standing on a stump. All in all a very fun day. I love this bow. Still need to quiet it down.

Good to hear that your enjoying it and that you made a good showing. When I'm on, I love to shoot with the wheelie crowd, it just burns them when I beat them from their pegs, I try my best not to show any emotion.

That bow reminds me of a Black Widow, but it looks better.

Thanks, there is an indoor 3d in a couple weeks and then the nationals are next month. I'm getting super excited.

Got some shooting in at my parents. Got both bows tuned pretty good. Here is a pic of a little walk back with the Firebird. Bottom 3 arrows are at 20 yards high left is 30 yards and the closest to center was 40 yards.

You know, I was wondering what happened to my ATV tires ?

Good shooting !

[attack]

Lol no no, those are my brothers quad tires lol.

While I was over at my parents, I stole a ball of some real nice black/grey/brown fuzzy yarn and put some quiet into these bows.

I like the looks of the falcon more but it sounds like you have the best of both worlds now.

attack let me just say this. When check-mate was in business and the American Dollar was strong they practically were giving the bows away!     I can't remember what I paid for my Falcon Deluxe but it was CHEAP! I had a two tone riser beautiful recurve! Great workmanship, fast, quiet, and accurate!    bentpole

I have decided to put the Falcon up for trade but the Firebird is staying for sure  :D

[attack]

I traded the Falcon yesterday for a.... Dare I say it... Bow with training wheels. The Falcon is a very sweet bow but I just didn't get "that feeling" that I get with my other bows... Like it just wasn't meant to be. There were only 2 bows I would have traded it for. A Pittsley Predator 45# to 55# or a newer Bear flagship training wheel bow to bump my current one to the backup spot. I got a 14' Bear Motive 6. I couldn't be happier, dealing with a great guy and got a bow I have wanted for a while, and the Falcon will be his first one piece custom bow. He is just as excited as I am.
