Title: New to Me Dale Dye
Post by: 1/4 away on July 10, 2008, 01:04:00 PM
Just wanted to show some pics of my new to me Dale Dye TD recurve that I got this morning. I think she's one sweet bow, but I might be prejudice...LOL

Bill, It's the 60" 55#@28" Mexican Rosewood (bocote) with bocote limb veneers and checkered grip. Already put some arrows thru it and its a keeper!

TJ, It shoots great, right to where I'm looking. It's not as fast as my Mojostick but it too is dead quiet.

Nice, speed isn't everything.  Straight and Quiet is hard to beat. Doe's it have a FF or a Dacron string?

TJ, I'm with you on that!  It's dacron only.

Fred,

If you take it to Denton, don't walk anywhere close to a/the Bow Trader table!!    :eek:   Mr. Berger has certainly had some nice looking Dye bows in his stable.  Mr. Dye is in the process of building a couple for him that's under 45# draw weight.  I've posted pics of the one I'm buying from him on another thread.    :D    :biglaugh:

Fred you are getting as bad as me. I have a beauty of a Dye and am working on getting another. The one I have has a beautiful Vermillion riser and the one I am working on has a beautiful Stripped ebony riser. Both have a checkered grip and gloss finish. I take it you got yours from Steve Berger. So did I.

Danny, These Dye's are an addiction all to themselves. Been wanting one for awhile now and finally have one. Mine is also from Steve, he has several beauties.

Danny,

I've got one on hold with Steve that has a Cocobolo riser and Medicine Wood limbs stained to match the riser.  It is 62" and 54#@28".

Bill, Bill, Bill,

Didn't you just get a new one?LOL.Bacote at around 55#.

Danny,

Actually, it was a 58#@28" Bocote bow.  It feels like 54-55# to me, so I figure the 54# bow will feel like 50-51# which I can handle.
