I had a few looks at some chek-mate bows at Booreman before. Honestly, I wasn't very impressed. To me they are just a down graded copy of Blackwidow and not very cheap to buy.

I took a look at some Fred Bear recurves. They're pretty well made and carry their own designs and characters. The price...is awesome. Some people who have used them told me they are pretty smooth and quiet.

Now the question is...our dollar is at par with US $. Why still buy chek-mate? Only because it's made in BC?
