I've owned two hunter II's in the past, a 58" and 62", and was very pleased with both.  I've currently got a Sabre on custom order, a bocote and cocobolo riser, and can't wait to get that one in.    :)

i ordered a falcon special in january of last year and received it in august. prior to this i was shooting a martin, since feb. after shooting the falcon i never picked up the martin again. the bow is loud, i messed with the bh, silencers to where it is ok. i missed five deer with it this fall. its no fault of the bow as i can shoot it real well. shooting at a live animal is alot different than shooting hay bales off your deck. although i didn't have buck fever, i guess i would forget to 'pick a spot' which is absolutely a must. would i order another one? you bet! for the price it can't be beat. chad is excellent to work with. he fixed the serving on one of my strings for nothing. my bow is right at 53#, just what i ordered and shoots 175 fps through the chrony. chopper

I have a Crusader and love it.  I had a Raven and loved the bow, but because it is a short bow and I did not have a consistant release, my shooting was inconsistant.  I hated to part with it because it was a work of art, but sold it to get my Crusader.  It was a great move for me.  I doubt I will ever part with it.  Good luck.

I'll add to the positive comments above. I got a Hunter II thru Chad. Love it. Now wish I had one of their longbows.

i have had 3 CH's

a 56" t/d hunter which i modified the grip because it was too large for me. this was a great little bow. wish i never sold it.

a hunter 1 t/d that didn't really fit me. not the bows fault at all.

and a 1 pc falcon deluxe i got from chad. this bow was beautiful. cocobolo riser with multiple overlays. it was a great shooter.

i found that my CH's liked a lower brace height than normal. it helped quiet the bow and added to the performance department.

i have known Chad via the internet for a number of years now. all the way back in time to when you couldn't say or type the name 'Checkmate'.   :rolleyes:   LOL

Chad is a good honest man.

The first trad bow I got was a Chek-Mate Crusader, 56#, Since then through some sort of strange asexual reproductive traits that I have never witnessed, it has multiplied so that there are now 4 Crusaders in the house, 2 at 56#,  1 at 54# and the latest one is only 40#  odly enough perfect for the wife....what luck.

The last one actualy came from
git-r-donearchery.com  in Calgary. And from phone call to bow at my door was measurable in hours and I live 1300 km away.
