I have had a #54 longhorn for a few years now. Its a great shooter and pretty quick. I have had several chekmate bows, raven, longhorn, 2 crusaders, and a couple of hunter and hunter II recurves. I have found them all to be very nice bows.
The longhorn has pretty good performance, very smooth draw, even with my long 29.5-30" draw. It does seem to be a little louder than the crusader. Pretty quick with very little hand shock.
OVerall excellent bows for the money, Get one you won't be sorry.
