I had one and it was the quietest, smoothest recurve I ever shot. And I have shot a bunch of em.  The only reason I sold it was the limb tips were easy to twist.  He has fixed that now with the carbon lamination. Great bows.

I should have mine before the month is out also!  I can't wait and cant say enough good things about his bows.  For sure one of the smoothest and quietest I've shot.

I had a 2008 model a few weeks back. I really liked it as well. If I hadnt decided to go with just longbows, Id a kept it. Fantastic bow.

as far as I know, he only makes the 3 piece bow in either longbow or recurve. basically, same riser, just either recurve or longbow limbs.

I really like Ricks bows. I had one but I donated it for an auction for a fellow in need.   Really want to get another one.

HIs longbow riser is differant than the recurve. alot less limb angle and a good shooter as well. Mine is 66" 47lbs.

I have a 64" recurve at 44 lbs.  It is the smoothest and easiest bow I have ever shot.  It's a great bow.

I bought a Dakota from BOHO... Just got it today.  Did you say it is a 2008?  Or were you referring to another bow?

I don't have a ton of recurve experience but it is much smoother and quieter than my Martin and the Bear I learned to shoot with years ago.

I like it so far.  It was different having the shelf so close to my hand but I shot it pretty well.
