Hey Arthur. It is a 62" Chek-Mate, Crusader model 50lb draw. I mostly made it to make strings for but it feels so nice on the draw that I have to see how it shoots. I never knew how nice a long bow is to shoot. Aside from that its just flat out beautiful! I also am amazed at how nice this points! It points like a perfectly fitted shotgun.

Looks cool Don! That was the one thing I disliked about my Dreamcast that you have on yours is the rug rest! I disliked being bound to feathers and disliked having to go to the shop refletching all the time. Good luck and keep us up to speed.

RE: Got a new toy today!
It only was set up for a rug rest or a stick on flipper or stick on finger style. With a compound bow the arrow is always in a perfect straight line as it is shot and never has to move around the rest as it is released. I disliked the arrow being moved a little up and over as the feathers went across the shelf or flipper. I know it works for people, but for me I could not stand seeing it being shoved out of alignment like that even though the arrow corrects itself in flight.
