Yup send Greybark a PM. Marc Moriez has been their bowyer for years. The bows are his design. Larry and Dorothy simply passed the torch to where it belonged. Below is an email I got from Greybark.


As of now Chek-Mate Bows will have departed their Abbotsford location and have relocated near Port Alberni on Vancouver island . The founders of CheK-Mate were Dorothy Lidstone and Larry Courchaine around 1972 and now the company will be owned and operated by their long time Boyer Marc Moriez .

Over the years Chek-Mate has supported and donated many high quality bows for the TBBC`s various functions . One little known fact was they only advertised in our OFF THE SHELF and their support is most appreciated . Dorothy and Larry will now devote a large portion of their time on the ATV trails in the Princeton area and fi shing Steelhead in the Vedder River ., The best of luck and heath to both of you .

Over all these years Marc as Boyer was the heart of Chek-Mate as he still demonstrates by getting excited with each bow taking shape in hands and learned eye . Marc the best of luck to you and your family we are assures that the good name of CHEK-MATE Bows is in the most competent of hands .
