Title: Are these tips safe for fastflight??
Post by: Tyler C. Moore on May 01, 2012, 07:24:00 PM
I just picked up this 52'' Cascade Night Hawk (53@28). I love my current bows but was intrigued by this short little bow.

The tips are backed with micarta both on the front and back. But as you can see there is a wooden overlay on the front.

I think that any fast flight string would be fine on these?? any thoughts. Thanks.


p.s. SWEET LITTLE BOW!!!!!!

That is a sweet little bow.

I believe those are just like the Chek-Mate tips (same bowyer) and should be FF safe.

I have one just like yours except 56#. Shoots FF very well. You are right they are sweet bows. It was one of the 1st custom bows I picked up and won't trade or sell it.

Check with Steve.  He doesn't reccomend FF materials on some of the Cascade bows--I can't remember which ones exactly, but I know it's the shorter ones.

You are good to go,I've owned probably 25 or so Chekmates over the years,never a problem when Micartas in the tips.

I think you will be fine with fast flight.
