A recurve that is, made by Dave Ricke, a very well known knife maker here in Wis. He also makes some smooth, stable, fast shooting recurves that don't look to bad either. This was given to me as a gift, and i'm really falling for her, think she will be joining me for a date in the Wis woods this fall!

Here are a few more. She has a birdseye maple riser with cocobolo accents and is 47 lbs at my 26 inch draw.

X2 what House said! :thumbsup:
I was honored to have Dave ask me to shoot one of his bows up at the 2010 Compton Rendezvous. I had a couple of my bows out at the target butts and he approached me to give his a try.
His style grip is one that I can shoot pretty well..........and it shot as well as anything that I own. A real nice fella........to boot.
Congrats on your new acquisition.

That really is a nice looking bow. As mentioned, the slim riser really looks good. You have to like a bow that looks beautiful, fast & functional all in one.
