Thanks.....Don   :bigsmyl:  

I'll do my best to find you down at ATAR this year, it will be at least July or August before Rick would get to my bow. I am looking forward to shooting one of yours.....if you have anything in the 40-45 pound range.

I have a Dakota Pro Hunter Recurve on order, can't wait to get it. I'm excited for you, cause you're gonna flip when you shoot his bows. Truly butter smooth, but they hit very hard!!!  :thumbsup:

Heres my lefty Dakota Hunter Recurve, Osage and Bucote.  My favorite of about 15 trad bows.  Rick's bows are the real deal!

I just called Rick, so I could accurately answer this question. 4 months.His orders have been steadily increasing, as well as his shooting schools. I can tell you from personal experience, his bows are totally worth the wait!!!

I hope Rick wasn't near any of those tornados that went through there today.

Nope, I was talking to him when I was driving home from work this evening, & ask about that also. That was 20 miles away from them, they just got some high winds. Glad he & family are fine, but am sorry for the loss of the folks that got hit.

Dave,

Thank You regarding his build time. I actually gave him a call after originally posting here. I think I'm going to his school before the summer ends.

Rick's school is the best money you'll ever spend on trad archery! Been twice and learn each time I'm with him... Great dude...

I've seen a few of the videos on you tube, all the shooters have nothing but great things to say about the school. It will be the best $500.00 I've spent, I'm sure of it.

Just listen to what Rick has to say.  He will make you a better shooter.  He has the crenditials.
