Barry, here's one.

Here is my Hunter II  cocobola and walnut riser

   
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I just put a newer prototype Chek Mate up for sale in the classifieds that has a bunch of pictures. It has a phenolic riser with some accent stripes and smaller grip than some of the older models. Marc makes a very nice bow that's priced right for the average working man.

Hadrick,

I wish the RH prototype was a lefty!  I talked with Chad recently, you can NOT order the new prototype with the phenolic handle, so I presume that they may be kinda a "one-on" for some lucky RH archer.  But on the positive side, the smaller grips are now available.

I am kinda hoping this changes.

That phenolic riser looks great. I just decided not to buy anymore bows that I didn't shoot first or I think I'd buy that prototype!
