Your Opinion Of Chek Mate Recurves?

[GrayRhino]

I am on the hunt for a 62" recurve in the low 40's# @ 28 range and considering a Chek Mate Hunter II.  What are your thoughts on them from your personal experience?  Thanks all.

[Don Armstrong]

Great bows, fast-smooth. Hunter II has a medium to high grip. I have owned 4. Don

I have had Chek Mate longbow and flatbow,great shooting bows.Fit and finish was excellent and well made.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

I've owned three H2s over the years. Excellent bows.

I've got a Falcon Deluxe and it's a fine bow for no more money than it cost.

[2Knives]

I've had 2 of them and wished I still had them.

I have owned several H2's over the years and found them to be outstanding bows. They were very consistent in their shooting qualities from bow to bow. I can shoot a H2 better then a lot of other bows out there. I wouldn't hesitate at a chance to own another (and be sure to keep a hold of it this time around...). Very high rated bow, in my opinion.

Regards!

I have a Hunter 2. It is my go to bow. I have't shot a lot of others to compare it too, but it works well for me and the price is right.

I have a King's Pawn. It's a keeper. I'd have to say it is the best valued custom made bow that I know of.

I've got the 52" Raven - smooth shooter but mine took some quietening down... Good bows for the price IMHO!

[SCATTERSHOT]

Great bows, if I weren't shooting longbows now I would have one.

I have an H2 and find it to shoot great.  I have two sets of limbs for it one About 53# and the other 65#.  I can switch out limbs and arrows and be hitting the target where I want with groups after only an arrow or two.

[BigAl]

I have a H II with two sets of limbs, 36# and 53#. I like the bow very much. It shoots better than I do! I'll be hunting deer with it in a couple weeks.

[BobW]

I have the bow you speak of - it is the only recurve I own - nope, you can't have it...    Outstanding bow!

Every one I have shot has been very smooth and an excellent shooter, grips are a bit big for me but that's just me....great bows.

I've probably owned close to 25 Chek-Mates over the years.The old owners Larry and Dorothy lived in the same town I use to .Spent many evenings in the bow shop.For the price they can't be beat!

[captainkirk]

I have never owned the H2 but have had a Falcon and now have a Thunderbird built just like I like it.  Grips have run large on the H models for a while, but the bowyer can likely build it to fit you if you ask.  They are a high quality product that is built to last.

I've never had the opportunity to handle or shoot a Chek Mate , but they are great looking bows, and the price sure is hard to beat.  The reviews here definitely speak well of them.

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?

[BobCo 1965]

The handles are rather large, but fits my hand rather well. I do believe that he will make any grip that you want however. I was going to have mine sent back at one time to have the shelf worked a little differently, I believe he wanted $40 which included shipping. Never had it done however.

[Ryan Sanpei]

I bought one for my dad a few years back.  He still got it and loves it!
