Do newer Chek Mate recurve models have the same larger grip, or was that only on older ones? Has there been any change in the grip design in recent years?

Newer bows still have the larger grip....

I've never heard a bad word about Chekmate bows.  I have an H2 that I hunt with and love.  You will not find a better bow for the money, or even twice the money.

The Falcon I have is definately a keeper. It does what is asked over and over again.

Marc will shape the grip to your specs. I've had him do 2 and am well pleased. I have the H2, H1 and the Crusader longbow. They are all first class and so is Marc.

Ron W, about the grip.....That might be an important consideration since I am looking for a bow for my 13 year old son to use and grow into.

He can comfortably hold my Widow PMA with its standard grip.  Can anyone out there compare the grip on a Hunter II with the standard grip on a Widow?
The grip of a Widow and the grip of a Chek Mate Hunter II are nothing alike, worlds apart actually. I believe that the Chek Mate is a better grip for me, my hand doesn't seam to want to slip off the grip as it would with the Widow. Just my personal preferance, yours could be completely opposite.

I've had an H1 since 05 and I wouldn't trade it for any of the hi dollar bows, I have a buddy that has owned Widows and every time we shoot together he makes the comment "dang that bow shoots hard".
I'll never get rid of it.

Had a H1 and a Falcon deluxe. Well made and pretty quick. I too found the grips a little large for my taste, although I sold them both to buddies who love them and regularly smoke me.
The H3 is supposed to be a smaller grip, but I've never played with one.
