Been keeping my eyes open for a Dwyer Dauntless, almost ordered one a few months ago, but fought the urge. Well the "urge" won out on this one, purchased "used", but appears to have been shot very, very little. Was too heavy for the original owner, I have seen "new" bows that appear to have been shot more than this (judging by the arrow rest).
This one is 62", 56# @ 28, "no name" on bow (lucky me). The riser is a combination of Osage/Cocobola/Ebony with accent stripes between the woods. The limb core is tempered bamboo, with Curly Maple limbs. If it looks somewhat familiar, there are 4 or 5 photos of this particular bow on the Dwyer web site gallery.
Havent shot it a whole bunch, just enough to get the brace worked out to 7-1/2" (tried 7, 7-1/8" as well). The grip is very comfortable, very smooth drawing, and dead in hand. Its not quite as "quiet" as my Toelke Whip, but its not noizy either. I would say it runs a close second to the Whip in the "silence" catagory of all the R/D bows ive shot. Looking forward to shooting it more when my CX 250's arrive.
Here are a few pics, couldnt get a good "braced" full length shot to constrain to 640 x 640, but these will give you the general idea... its a looker-

That is one sweet looking bow. I'm start'n to get an awful hanker'n for one of them R/D longbows. Darn you guy's! Jason
I have a Dwyer original in the same combo. NICE. BILL
Nice bow. I recently bought String Cutter's Dauntless, 62", 52# @ 28". Had it out once at an indoor range and I thought it was very quiet, fast and very stable.It's one of the nicest long bows I've owned so far.One of these days I'll have to take some decent pictures of it.
Very nice!
Thanks guys, im looking forward to getting in the woods with it!
Very Nice!!
Good looking bow ! :thumbsup:
Lamey,
That's very pretty. I likey!
You can put a pic of it braced. You can only have images that are no more than 640 WIDE...not long. =0)
Very nice, good looking bow!
You got yourself a fine bow there Matt. Now all you need is a good knife! :D Lin
Sweet...Wish it was me bragging about it.
Thanks all, LIn its funny I rarely have a knife of my own to use. As soon as i get "caught up" im going to make myself a set.
Fido, I thought the images could be no more than 640 in either L or W. I will try and get a braced photo if it can be "longer".
That's a really beautiful bow, love the woods! Congrats!
The Dwyers can make a bow!
