Anyone Have Pics of a Chek-Mate Crusader Longbow?
« on: April 19, 2008, 06:28:00 PM »
Hey all,

I would like to see some pics of this longbow.  I have read lots of great reviews of this bow, but I don't think I have ever seen a good picture of one.  So if you have a decent picture or 2 of the Crusader Longbow how about posting them?  A full length strung and unstrung would be great too, if you have them.

Also if you care to add your thoughts and opinions on the bow that would be helpful too.

Thanks for the time.

Sorry I can't do any better than this.  But you can also check out Recurves.com (Chad Weaver - LBR).

 

 

My bow is a 68" and 56#@32".  Cocobolo riser with Pacific Yew limbs.  It was my first bow, and made for my specs.  Marc is an excellent bowyer and Chad is a top notch guy to deal with.

It is a smooth shooter, friendly, and stable.  I feel it is one heck of a bow.  There is a reason you don't see too many used ones - we don't get rid of them.

I've got a few pics on my computer, but don't know a thing about posting them.  I can send them if you want--just e-mail me.

I've been shooting a Crusader for.......about 10 years, I think.  I've owned several other longbows, and shot gobs more--for me, it's "THE" bow (so far anyway--I'll still try different bows here and there).

Pop along to LBR's site ... the cocobolo/yew one looks pretty much like the one I bought from him some years ago. I still have it and it remains my "go to" bow!

LBR and Marc are HIGHLY recommended!

I've attached a pic of last season's whitetail; my 'Sader complements the buck quite nicely.

No more pics? I'd be glad to see a few, too!

These are of one I sold to a friend. Red elm limbs and not sure of the riser wood.

Thanks Chad
   That was a good shooting bow, very quiet. It was just a little lighter than I wanted, 48@28 and I only draw about 27".
