Does anybody here shoot or has shot a Check-Mate Longhorn bow? I have seen them on their website but was wondering if anyone here had any advice as to how they shoot in general. I have personally only shot my Bears and a Samick longbow so not much diversity on my part. Any help is good help so I am asking the "experts".

I've shot the Longhorn a few times.It was ok but I like their Crusader,Hunter 2,and Falcon better.

CheckMate bows are good priced bows with a great warranty.I would much rather have one than a Samick.

Never shot a Longhorn but Check- Mates are very well made good shooting bows for the Bucks.

The Chek-Mate Longhorn is  great bow. My son owned one for a while. Only reason he sold it is because he never had time to shoot or hunt. I shot it a lot though, and liked it a lot.

They're very smooth shooting for a hybrid type longbow. I also had a Chek-Mate Hunter recurve, and although the Longhorn wasn't as smooth as it was....... it was still a excellent bow.

I haven't shot any of the checkmate longbows but I just bought a Checkmate Hunter  from a fellow tradganger. 56" long 51 lbs @ 29" sweet shooter.
I know a few others that own checkmate  hunters and hunter II recurves and you can't pry them out of their hands. If their longbows are as good as their recurves I don't see how you could go wrong.

I've had my hands on a couple of longhorns.  Personally, I like'em.  The last one I shot almost came home with me.  If I hadn't already dropped some cash on a new bow, it would have.
