Title: Robertson Fatal Styk Z pics
Post by: Danny Rowan on June 21, 2009, 11:27:00 PM
I have owned several of Dick's bows and they were all fantastic bows, this is the best yet, his new design t/d recurve, the Fatal Styk Z. 60",54#@28",57# at my draw. Smooth as butter, boo limbs with the most beautiful bacote lams, bacote/ebony riser,I love this bow and shoot it very well. Not going anywhere.

Danny,I agreed with you.I own 7 Robertson recurve and some other that I sold,all are very good bows,but the new Fatal styk is something different,is much smoother and quiter almost like a foam core limbs bow the grip is perfect the and makes it easy to shoot and be accurate.The bow is really easy to be tuned and diferent arrow sizes fly true.I have seen it has changed the brace high and the limb attaching angle.My first Robertson Praire Falcon recurve dates back on 1990,since then Dick has made continous little improvements in a Crescendo in performance and detail.This is truly a bow apart competing with the really top bows in the Country.Mine Fatal is with Moradillo and Ebony and Bocote limbs,Felix

I totally agree with you Felix. The Fatal is the best Robertson t/d recurve yet,much quieter and more forgiving as well as an unbelievable smoothness, as you said, much like a bow with foam cores.

Jr,

No sir, not going anywhere.

Terry,

Yes, got the armguard and it is beautiful. Will be on my arm when I go to Texas in November.

LOL, yeah, it is amazing how some have never heard of the Territory where "America's Day Begins"

I know from personal experience Bacote veneers give limbs mojo in spades. Combine that with a bacote and ebony riser and what you get is beauty that kills.

Very nice Bow Danny, it kind of reminds me of a Ferret for some reason.
Hey Felix that bow is backwards!

Gorgeous bow!  I love my Robertson! I have a Vision Falcon IV and it is pretty similar to yours in many ways... nice wood choices!

I would not give up mine either and I have another in the works with Dick (A one piece) I can see myself starting a collection of them.

Does anyone know if the new risers are the same as the short or long riser of the former falcons ?
Title: Re: Robertson Fatal Styk Z pics
Post by: cacciatore on July 16, 2009, 05:28:00 PM
Phil,I get all the Falcons since the a Prairie 1990.The Fatal styk's riser is as long as the former LR,but it is slimmer of a 1/4 of a inch in the sight window and overall the lenght of the riser,so it is lighter but anyway stable,and I like the grip beter too.My dears great great bow.Felix
