This is my new longbow made by David Dowell from Arlington, KS. David has a booth each year at the Flatrock Stickbow Carnival in Bois D'Arc, MO and I finally broke down and ordered something from him. This bow is 62" long and pulls 46#@28". The limb core is sassafrass and the limb veneer is curly maple. The riser is made from leopardwood and Laoation rosewood. It pulls smoothly and shoot very nice. Too bad I got it the last week of our season but better late than never!

VERY nice looking bow - even better that it's left handed! David makes a great bow. He made one for me a year ago - shoots great too.
I have one of David's longbows...it's a lefty too...very fast and smooth
Very nice looking bow! I hate to rain on your party though. I think he built it with the shelf on the wrong side. :thumbsup:
Maybe the last week of season but look on the bright side. You get to look at it and shoot it every day until next season! Great looking bow!!

You can clean your ears with those tips if you need too! :)
Darren I like the looks of your new David Dowell Bow. I love the way he put together the riser. But it shoots from the wrong side. Ha Don
It must shoot great! What a beauty!
What a beauty :thumbsup:
Great looking bow.
Whats that thing hanging on the wall to the right of it? :biglaugh:
Davie really builds a pretty bow. We have shot and hunted together from time to time since the 1980's. He may be even a better hunter than he is a bow builder.
Another great piece of work by David, the bow is beautiful. David is a good friend of mine I met him years ago at the Southern Plains Archery shoot in Mcalester OK, he is a great guy to deal with and he does great work, I am very pleased with the bow he built me a few years back.
Oh ya he also has a nephew that builds one heck of a knife, he takes alot of pride in his work just like David does in his bows, his name is Brett Dowell and he is out of western OK.
