That's what I bought mine for, I have a chek-mate hunter 1 as my Number 1 bow, and it is amazing how close in feel the sage feel to it. I can pick it up and shoot as bad with it, as I can with my #1 bow (lol). I have muskox string silencers and limb savers on mine, It pretty quite.
This bow also makes a great bow fishing bow (it has all the add on threaded holes you need to set it up). I have it all set up for bow fishing but have only practiced with up to this point. This summer, I hope to change that.
