I received this bow about a month ago and have been shooting it regularly ever since. Just a really sweet shooting backset Hill style. Eastern red cedar lams, white glass on the belly and brown on the back. 66" and 48# @ 28". Dave was super to work with on the build. Really pleased with the bow and the way it shoots.
Rather than discuss it in detail here I put a much longer description in the product review section if you want more information and pics take a look over there.

sharp looking bow!
Congratulations Dave, beautiful looking bow! Love the white glass on the belly. :thumbsup:
Beautiful bow! I'd like to find one of Dave's bows at about 60#
Very nice!
Congratulations!!

Nice bow. I got mine from Dave about a month ago. I must have been right after you or right before you. I believe he said the guy before me was from Maryland. All that said everything you say has been true for me. Dave was a real pleasure to work with. My bow, like yours, shoots great. This bow was a departure from my HHA bows, and it is different in subtle ways. It did not take long though to figure it out and be on my way to stellar shooting. I need to figure out how to post pictures as Dave is first class and needs recognition as your pictures show. Real pretty bow you have there. Congrats.
What a beauty! Congrats!
Absolutely gorgeous bow. Dave sure makes a classy looking stick!!!
Awesome looking bow :thumbsup:
Beautiful Bow!
Nice I like the glass combo instead of veneers.
Very great looking Long Bow Dave. Enjoy
my next Dave Johnson longbow is on the list...can't wait till later this summer to get it!
Man, that's a classy looking longbow.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Most-excellent longbow!
Shoot straight, Shinken

Another fine Dave Johnson longbow. Enjoy it.

Dave no longer makes bows over 50 pounds. Good luck in your quest. :banghead:
Very nice bow! :thumbsup:
I've owned and shot many different longbows. My two Dave Johnson bows are the best of the best.
Yeah, Ric. I had the bow out again today and it's really hard to put down. I've not shot a hill style, backset, straight, stringfollow, forward handle, or otherwise, that I like better than the Johnson.
Fine bow.
Dave makes a really nice bow and his price is very good. For you guys on the fence you need to know Dave is close to 80 and came out of retirement to build a few bows. I do not remember ever seeing one in the classifieds so if you want one get on his list. His waiting list is not too bad. 1-3 months best I can tell, but he does one bow at a time so it just depends on how many people got in line ahead of you. I like his hand shake deal over the phone. Just say you want on his list and you don't pay anything until he starts your bow. When he starts your bow he communicates and sends some pictures of it during the build. Just don't take advantage of this "handshake deal" and screw it up for the rest of us.
Congrats on your new DJ....very pretty!!!
I sold mine to Mudd. She was the fastest for weight HH style that I've owned. Super bows IMO!!!
In one word.......sweet! :thumbsup:
Hatrick,you inspired me , I just got off the phone with Dave and ordered my 1st american longbow,now I have to decide on stright,backset or stringfollow. Burt
I'm next on Dave's list and I sent him a beautiful piece of bastogne walnut for the riser. I wanted to be sure I had one of his bows before he retired again. I'll be posting pictures as he sends them to me.
Don't wait too long guys!
Dave and his bride, Pat are two of the most sweet and wonderful people that you could ever hope to meet. They are 1st Class in my book.
