Leaves you just under a week to get used to it.

It`s a beauty for sure.

Happy days ahead.

I've had my CH now for a few months and packing it every day for elk. Alas, I had to put a bow sock on it to hide the shine in the sun, though I hunted for a week without one just for the love of looking at its beauty. The shortness in addition to beauty and shooting quality, makes it well worth the wait. Gregg is da man! Dave ("I've been Shrewed!")

"Bows that purty I would have a hard time hunting with."

Thanks everyone....now I've got a bow to get aquainted with.
