We are starting to produce our 1 pc. Dakota longbow again. This is the 1st one out of the form, and no finish on it yet, not even sanded out. Just wanted to let guys to know they will be available shortly.

Thanks
Bob

I might have to consider one of those. I had an Arapaho first then ordered a Dakota.  I remember bustin up nocks and feathers and limiting the arrows shot each round so I din't ruin them. Was my shooting better then? Maybe it was the bow? I can't recall what I did with the bow or when I sold it? Killed a buck at 45 paces with it, the arrow wizzed right through his heart. The shot was effortless. I can't imagine shooting that far now.
I added a 58" Morrison Cougar to my stable and killed a few with that. I loved the way the cougar looked,  Cocabolla with copperheads and pinecone carvings. I never had the same accuracy as the Dakota. My draw length and strength grew after a neck disc operation and the cougar became too short. I moved on to a recurve and a longer Acadian Woods TreeStick.  I'll order a bow or two in the spring. Maybe a Dakota.
