I had 2. 56” Hunter I & 62” Hunter II . Really liked both. Love the way limb and riser flow together. I thought they were no longer in business and will check out Boorman .

I've got three, two recurves and a longbow. No way I'm selling them.
Limb sets should be available thru Boormans.

Here's a 56" Chek-Mate Hunter. Tack driver.
They are very quiet yet fast and smooth.

Here is another shot of the 56". The short length does not cause stacking as the limbs are the same length as the longer bow.
The limb fit is beautiful...I don't like takedowns where the limbs sit on top of the riser like an afterthought.

I have 3 Hunters....two are the Hunter 2 models, for me, Check Mate recurves are the most accurate bows I've shot. The newest is a Hunter 3 that I ordered through Boorman's in 2019. It may be a hair faster with the straighter riser but I prefer the looks of the Hunter 2. Ordering through Boorman was a very smooth process and Marc built exactly what I wanted and they're still a bargain.

I would call them to check. The hunter 1 is a takedown if I remember right. I don't recognize any of the other names. Got my Attila from Recuves.com awhile back. Took a 1 3/4 years. Chechen riser and all Black Walnut limbs.

I have a 66" Sabre that's 41 @ 29". Was hoping to hunt with it this year, but I'm not strong enough to get it strung up.

Yes, I've always heard that Marc made the blanks at least for Steve Gorr...and that when Marc stopped building, Cascade came to an end.
Here's a Hunter II in cocobolo and maple that I got from KPC on here. We both agree that it's the world's prettiest 3-pc. recurve.
