Yesterday I received my M380, and although I have not shot it yet, just holding it and aiming, I think I like the cheek piece. I'll have to shot a little to be sure.

What bow do you have?

No matter what model you have I say yes for sure...
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I put one on my Vortex and really like it. My eye seems to fall more naturally in line with the scope when using it. :)

No expert but anytime your eye is centered same way over and over it has to help with poi..Without Paralax you will notice it more on scopes..

All three of mine wear a cheek rest.. I really like the way they look and feel. :D I can't see a reason too not like them, and they are so lite that weight's not even an issue. :wink:

I put one on every Excalibur I had, would not think about not having one, they are that nice for fast eye alignment, and comfort in my opinion.

what you can do is add a small piece of foam pipe insulation. You can purchase it at any hardware store. just cut a piece about 3 inches and place it on the top of your stock.
this is something quiet a few of us used to do before the matrix and such bows came out.
youll be suprised at how good it feels and it will help you decide if you want to order a cheek piece or not.

I added a piece of pool noodle to my Grizzly and it feels great. Even found some Mossy Oak Gorilla cloth tape to cover up the rather striking blue colour.

Very cheap fix!

cheers
