Well here it is. The Brand New Martin DreamCatcher. 45# on a 60" AMO. It's a long story on how I got this bow that I won't go into here. Those coming to Baltimore Bowmen Classic in May can hear the story and shoot the bow.

I have always heard the Dreamcatcher was a good shooting bow but don't remember ever shooting one. They sure are fine looking bows and it looks like your shooting it pretty good.

Dreamcatcher's are good shooters. Congrats and enjoy.
Congrats, Bill....beautiful bow! :cool:
sweet. I've always liked the looks of the dreamcatcher.
Sweet looking bow! Congrats! ;) :thumbsup:
Those Dreamcatchers are pertty for sure.
I always wondered how they would look in different exotic woods like ebony and cocobolo, or bocote and zircote.
WooHoo! Good catch! And in a weight I have arrows for! This is gonna be a good shoot!

Very nice looking. Congrats!
So...can't you hit the little square thingies? ;)
Killdeer :biglaugh:
Killie - See it's like this - I tried to prop the bow up against the target and it kept sliding down. I couldn't get in to stay still. So I goes to the 15 yard line and fired a perfect group of 2 and then another perfect group of 2 just wide enough for me to prop the bow up in between.
They are man made braces.
Bill...that is a stunning piece of wood. WOW!
Can't wait to draw that one back.
(Man Law #2.....must let Raineman test drive.... :D )
Great looking bow congrats.
Those Dream Catchers are awesome bows. You are gonna love it!
"They are man made braces."
:help: :notworthy:
And that is why this mere gurrrllll was not able to visualize the concept, nor would I be able to do the physics to estimate how many arrows would be necessary to handle the task, nor would I be able to execute its construction.
I will have to bring tribute to Baltimore, although I know it will not be worthy. :notworthy:
Killdeer :notworthy:
That is one beautiful Dream Catcher, Bill.
I keep telling myself the first time I see a 45#'er for sale in the classifieds that I'm gonna jump on it. They are nice lookin for sure.
Congrats!!
these may be the best production bow there is
I agree! My first recurve-a terrific bow and good lookin' too-congratulations!!
Bill, I just got time to catch-up on the posts here and I see you're still BOW-hunting! You got yourself a beauty there. I've always thought those Dreamcatchers were amoung the best lookin' bows.
BTW, I want it noted that I offered to try an "Intervention" with you before you got past the point of no-return with this Trad thing. LOL! Nice thinkin' and shootin' to double-hole those arrows perfectly to hold the bow up for the great pics. Glad you're havin' fun!! :clapper:
It's a real beauty. The most beautiful bow of the bows made nowadays.
When I'm finished with my Bear bows I intend to buy (1970s Kodiak Hunter with laminated brown handle, Bear Tigercat 62" which will arrive very soon and a Bear Super Kodiak with Fascor from the 70s) the Dreamcatcher will be the next one. And probably the only new bow I will ever buy.
According to the acutal catalog, didn't they change the laminates of the handle for 2008?
Are there more pictures of Dreamcatchers American forum members would like to share?
