Title: Now all I have to do is tell the wife.....
Post by: buejeger on November 19, 2009, 11:38:00 AM
Well I was in a discussion about the Dalaa here on Trad Gang a while back and of course the DAS subject came up and suddenly I was kindly offered the chance of buying a DAS master riser from Jason R. Wesbrock...
We agreed on a price and soon the riser was on its way   :)  
Mr Wesbrock is a good man to do business with too, he kept me informed of the process and when due to illness couldnt make it to the post office untill a day after he said he could, he threw in an extra grip at no cost!     :bigsmyl:    

now all I have to do is break it gently to the wife....    :help:

Better to ask for forgiveness then permission.    :D      :biglaugh:

Here are some more pics (that little strane stab is a smooth stabilty stab designed for wheelie bows, but boy does it work well on the DAS!)

Good for you, stabilizer looks strange but if it works for you great-

I think the best way to avoid that kind of problem is the way I did with my fly fishing equipment.  You need to have such a large pile of gear that your wife won't notice any additions or subtractions, the latter of which is unlikely.    :biglaugh:

Yeppers, I agree with BD, just hang it in the garage with all your other stuff, If she happens to see it, just tell her its been there for at least a couple of years.

It works for me........
Nice Bow

Mike

Awesome bow! Those limbs look absolutely wicked. The Hex4s I had were absolute buggers to string, and those look even wilder. The Master I had (which is now maxwell's  ;) ) was technically the best bow I've ever laid my hands on...but I don't mind the little extra length of my longer DAS, so that's what I kept.
Congrats once again! Discovering and messing with DAS bows is quite a lot of fun  :)

thanks  :)
Stringing can be tricky yes, Sid at border recommends the "loop sliding along the limb"  type of stringer and not the "both tips" type of stringer. I used one today and it worked a treat.  :)
There is something special about this bow... its gonna be a keeper thats for sure!

That never works on my wife, she always figures out when I buy something new.  Luckily she understands my hunting obsession.  She says shed rather have me do that than go out drinking.

Congrats Nathan  :)  
Your DAS is a fast, smooth kind of bow...
When Nathan called me and told me that the limbs was arrived, the lunch place for the day was planned quickly  :D  

I have to say that I never been interested in these metal risers, but after testing Nathan`s DAS....I have to admit that there is an ad from me on the classifieds asking if somebody have a DAS riser or bow for sale  :goldtooth:  

I`m really impressed with the comfortable feel I did get shooting this one.

And Nathan... of course it was the bow that made the killshots from 30 and 40 yards  :D  nothing to do with that, you are the gold medalist from the Norwegian championship 2009 in field archery..  :biglaugh:

Haha!  Thanks Ronny!
Well after "outing" me like that publicly I had better mention that Ronny aka Margly is aslo not a bad shot himself... winning Gold in this years Norwegian Bowhunter championships!    :goldtooth:

Ronny turned up within 5 minutes of me getting the bow haha, and the next day he was back with some of his latest purchases from Trad Gang members...  Ronny is suffering from a real bad bow buying compulsion    :biglaugh:  I think in the last week alone he has added 3 bows to his ever growing stable....  
So do the man a favour.. i you have got a DAS... DONT sell it to him   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

The more bows you have out the harder it is to spot a new one, safety in numbers.
