My New BOW!!!!!!
« on: April 12, 2009, 05:27:00 PM »
I have to say I am super excited about this bow.  It is a Chekmate T/D Hunter Recurve 41# at 28 inches.  I draw about 29 inches.  I love this thing.  I can't wait to get it set up and my form down so I can start shooting groups.  But so far I have been shooting leave and stuff in my backyard and I have been coming pretty close within a fifteen yard distance.  Here are the pics:
 
 
 

I have a questing though about tiller.  When I snug the limb bolts down the tiller says it is even.  Now I like to shoot split fingered so I would like to have a postive tiller.  Do I loosen the top limb to get it and have it loose when the bow is unstrung?

Don't loosen either limb!!! It's not an ILF bow!!! You can shoot it even tiller 3 under unless it feels like the timing is way off. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, limb bolts should be "snug" not "cranked" by the way.

Even tiller won't be a problem shooting split.

Very nice. I like TD's that recess the limbs that way. Good choice of woods too!

Sorry guys but Im not really sure what the woods are.  I bought the bow at a shop, didn't order it.  Thanks for the comments.  Im really excited about it.
