Thanks in advance!

Well I don't have any pics available right now but I do have 2 Dryads. I have a Hunter, and an Orion.  They probably get shot the most of all my bows.

 The Orion is the most recent and is getting shot a lot.  It came with the recurve limbs, and I just got some longbow limbs made for it.  Now I keep switching back and forth to see which I like the best.  Seems like I gotta make everything difficult.

The Hunter I've had for awhile.  It has gotten me to appreciate selfbows more and has me trying to make my own.  The simplicity of it is part of it's beauty.  It's a great performer, and a beautiful bow.  I guess I'll try to take some pics of them this weekend and post them.  They are fine bows and I would recommend them to anyone.  Shoot one and see for yourself.  :archer2:

I just traded for a Dryad Orion, 62" 52#, Bamboo core limbs, longbow. It is smooth, quick, and I shoot it accurately. I'll be hunting with it this fall.

I have a "Windtalker" built from one of Dryad's fine bow blanks. (I have finished off 4 of these bow blanks, one for each of my family members)

The Windtalker is a good performer, and the blanks are easy to complete.

Also have a Dryad "Phoenix Lite" that is a good performer, and I shoot it well.

Mike, Connie, and Jason are great to deal with and I can recommend them as a great company to deal with.

I've been shooting the same 58# windyalker for like 5 yrs. It's killed a bunch of stuff. I love it.
