Title: New Robertson Stykbow(Pics)
Post by: steve anderson on February 04, 2007, 12:15:00 PM
My wife ordered me a Vision Falcon for Christmas(awesome, ain't she).  It is going to be 62" long and draw around 50# @29".  I don't have a clue about the rest of the bow.  I asked Dick to build whatever he wants, however he wants.  I can't wait.

I think it's roughly 5 months.  I changed my order to one that was in stock.

The riser is bocote and myrtle. the back of the limbs are juniper, the belly is myrtle.  the pics don't do the bow justice. The myrtle on the limbs gathers and reflects the sunlite so that it looks like you could fall into the wood.

Dick has been making bows for a long time and I consider his bows to be some of the best out there.  When I first started making bows many years ago, Dick was always willing to answer questions.  I have nothing but respect for Dick and a appreciation for the quality of his workmanship.

My son and I got to meet Dick last year at the ATBA jamboree last year and in my opinion any man who would take time to help an 12 year old kid shoot better is tops in my books and he makes a darn fine bow to boot!

Coming from you, that is quite an endorsement. Good to see you posting on Tradgang Ric!

I was told that Dick sold out and is training a new owner on how he makes his bows?

That is a purdy bow there Steve.  Dick didn't sell out but he is training a partner.  With Yote gone to Alaska he needed some help and Todd is doing really good under Dick's guidance.  Joseph
