Thanks for your help.

Nice collection,David.

Beauty, Dave.  Glad you are a righty.  I don't know if I could take the temptation if I shot one of those.

Felix...my most sincere apology for the sorrow of losing your mother. Hard time, I know.

David...my appetite is whetted, and in more than one way!

Here's to men with fine tastes...and to their bows!

This is my new Dale Dye. 60in and 55@28. It shoots like a dream. I could not be happier with the bow. Dale put hair from three of my deceased K-9 partners in the riser. Nikko, Amber ,and Arrow. Powerful medicine. Right now it is set up for Turkey season.

   

Mike,  That bow is stunning!

Thanks ISP 5353. Dale did a great job.

That's a beautiful bow Mike.

Where are your pics Dave.

The pierce points and checkering are beautiful. These bows look similar to Robertson Stykbows. Is there a connection?

I do not know enough about Dale to give you an answer. I have owned both and the grip is very different.

Dick Robertson taught Dale how to make bows after Dale retired from being a cop. I think there are a lot of people that don't know how long Dick has been making bows. I could be wrong but I think Dick was the first to use exotic veneers under clear glass.

Cool, thanks. I remember there used to be a little info on Robertson's website about who taught him to do pierce points. I thought maybe it was Dale but it's the other way around...

Juneaulongbow, I'm fairly sure that info is correct but i'm not 100% sure.

Nice piece,Mike!

Dale was making bows in the latter 1980's which is the first time I contacted him. He was the sheriff of Hamilton, Montana for 29 years and retired somewhere around 2005. He has been making bows far longer than his retirement. I also think he is pretty much self taught, feeling the need to preserve the sport he loves. I will call him tomorrow and check all this out.

Jim Brackenbury was using veneers under clear glass as far back as 1989, which is the first time I contacted him.
