I just ordered a Don Dow stik bow LH 48lbs at 27 inches. I chose the green mountain camo riser,pecan and greenish/gray stained elm veniers, hard maple lams, and a walnut accent strip. To say i am excited would be an understatement, I would really appreciate any ones opinions on their Stik bows, and would love to see some pictures if any of you folks have any. I did a search not to much there. This will be my first r\\d longbow and first custom bow. I can't find any good pictures of one that is strung up.
Thanks Matt.

I also sold my compound and it's accesories to buy it, I'm going traditonal only from now on. You guys just made it seem like so much more fun, and when i started shooting traditional 5 months ago, i knew i wouldn't ever touch that wheel bow again. Thanks for that.

Don't have a picture, but I've shot a couple and for me it's the best buy out there.

Don makes good ones, lotta bang for the buck

I have one that is my go to bow right now.  It's 60", 53# at 28".  I forget the name of the color scheme.  I'll try and get some pictures up tomorrow once I get off work.  I don't have a lot of experience to compare it to in the traditional world, but I am very, very happy with it.  It is a much better bow than I am an archer!

Best of luck with your bow!  Have Don send you some pictures of the build process.  I was fascinated to see it all come together.  He is a wonderful gentleman to deal with.

No pics but I have a 54" 60# Dow and I have no complaints AT ALL. A real shooter.

Thanks guys. Do any of you guys use fast flight on your bows? The one i ordered will be 58 inches. Not sure of what string length it will need. It seems i get less hand shot with fast flight.

This was my first custom. Great bows! I liked b-50 on it.

I use fast flight on mine with no problems at all.

I have a 54" 53 @ 27 Stik.  Nice quiet hunting bow.  

Great hunting bow.  

Don

As promised, here is a pic of my Don Dow bow.  I hope the resize worked.  It should be 640 pixels wide.  Admins, if not, please delete and I'll try to fix it.  I had other pics, but the resize didn't work on those.

Thanks!

 

Sweet they shoot even better than they look

Thanks guys, those are great looking bows. Can't wait till she arrives. You guys are right, Don is a really nice guy. He answered all of my dumb questions no problem. I ordered my bow with a somewhat light draw weight but I'm sure i wont have problems with pass throughs with the right arrow broadhead combination. I would much rather be slightly under-bowed than over-bowed. 48-50 pounds is extremely comfortable for me. I can comfortably shoot 55 pounds or so in the yard, but not sure about it after sitting against a tree for 4 hours in cold weather. I've just recently started shooting traditional bows. I also have a beagle pup coming in a month or so. Hope to have him running rabbits next winter. Should i shoot some arrows while he is eating so he isn't bow shy?    The beagle thing is also due to me reading this forum. Just looks like too much fun and i have always loved listening to them run a rabbit. Now if i can hit one with a bow. Again guys thanks for the pictures, although i think it might make the wait seem even longer. If any one has more, I'd love to see em.
Matt
