On occasion someone will ask about Dale Dye and his bows.
Well after about 14 months Im happy to say that my bow arrived today.
Mexican Rosewood riser with striped ebony and yellow and black laminations.
Limbs are Medicine wood dyed to match.
Medium Checkered grip
62" 47#@28" three piece recurve.
Smooth as butter
quite
and fast.
A true work of art.
So for those who have asked, Dale is still making great bows.
We need pictures.
Yes indeed, pictures!!!!
Here you go John

Thanks Stan
Wow , that's perdy !
That is awesome!
Dale is building me a second set of limbs for mine now and will be checkering my riser to once I send it back for limb fitting! Cant wait for it!
Had a Medicine Point made out of those same woods and combinations a couple years back. Absolutely a stunning combination!
In my opinion there's not a more honest
Down to earth man you can't beat his bows dead in the hand and quiet I will miss dale when he decides to hang it up at 80 yrs old theres something to be said for that!!
Nice...!!
Thanks guys
just got in from shooting about 40 arrows thru "her"
sweet shooter, likes 500 spine
braced at 8in no arm slap, dead in the hand, shoots where your looking, very very quite.
ill work up the correct arrow this week end, length and point weight, etc.
As said above Dale is a wonderful person, not a wordy persons, but that's ok since we southerners talk to much anyway.
A truly talented man at his craft. Congrats on your new bow. I bet it was a long 14 months.
They're like M&Ms you can't stop at 1 :archer2: (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/005-5.jpg) (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/photo%204%202_zpslramg1yk.jpg)
Dale makes some great bows. Enjoy yours.
Wow John, fine looking!
After owning over 60 different bows, Dale makes my favorite recurve, the grip fits my hand like molded clay. My two medicine points are flawless works of art.
I really like the combination of dark brown with lighter shades of brown.
Dale is a legendary bow maker!
Dale is a true craftsman!
