nineworlds9,I have/had at least 15 of Dick's bows and none had disappointed me,plus I have ordered several dozens for friends and every single one is still shooting and loving his Robertson.

One of, if not, the best. Great grip, great looks, great performance.

I had a FatalStyk and really liked it, but moved it to make room for something else. I have a TribalStyk and took a nice bear with it this spring. I love the way Dick puts the shelf right on top of your hand.

I recently picked up one of Dick's old Peregrine 50's style recurves. It might be the highest performing bow I have ever owned, and I have owned most of them. This thing is a rocket with arrows weighing 11 gpi.

I sold a Timberline longbow with every intention of using the money to buy a 58" Fatalstyk. I even called Dick to ask when the best time to order would be. Then I agreed to take a Robertson longbow in trade and there went my new Fatalstyk. I am keeping the Robertson longbow.

Ok here are some pics of mine to get you more impatient

So which level of Fatal Styk did you order...I love the way the Z version looks...if I was going to buy a new one it would be the econo version...shoot just as well and cost a whole lot less

Ah Jeff you're killin me. Thursday isn't coming fast enough. Dave, mines an X just like Jeff's but its a Cocobolo riser instead of Bocote and Juniper limbs instead of Bocote. It's absolutely frickin gorgeous, can't wait to show pics!!

tradlab · August 06, 2013, 10:00:00 PM

I have 5 fatal styks and raven styk limbs for 2 of the them plus one wolfer , all are fantastic shooters and dick is the master of natural beauty. My all time favorite bows.

nineworlds9 · August 08, 2013, 06:53:00 PM

She came today!!! Great scot what a bow! So freakin gorgeous. It's amazing how the wood shows through the satin finish. The juniper, gosh. The grip is the best I've ever felt on a recurve. It rivals my Habu, might be better!? Soo comfortable. Just natural. The bow has just enough mass. It is actually kinda lightweight, but the balance is superb! Strung her up, first pull...WOW! Buttah. Only thing remotely similar in draw recurve-wise for me was a set of Border Hex 5 limbs. This bow was makin my head swim. Got outside and let three loose at about 15-17 yds with no tuning yet. First arrow low, second high, third bullseye!! No problem. Just wait till she's dialed in! The cherry?!: just a string and whiskers and she is hands down the quietest recurve I have ever shot. And I'm a super stickler for quiet bows, being a 'longbow' guy. Fellas, I wasn't sure but this one is now 100% a keeper. I'm a Robertson man for life. Sensational bow.

More coming!

nineworlds9 · August 08, 2013, 06:56:00 PM

And more...

South MS Bowhunter · August 08, 2013, 06:59:00 PM

Man you sound excited

nineworlds9 · August 08, 2013, 06:59:00 PM

The coolest part is that somehow or another Dick or Yote chose to write 'Vision Falcon' above the Fatal Styk identifier on the limb. Neato! I'm in love.

Ringneck · August 08, 2013, 07:00:00 PM

Beautiful bow! I would be excited as well. Congrats!

Stixbowdrew · August 08, 2013, 07:06:00 PM

I need a bow with juniper veneers! That thing is gorgeous! Hope she shoots half as good as it is purty!

Brock · August 08, 2013, 07:35:00 PM

I have deleted all my pics but sure they are online somewhere...

This was my cocobola and myrtle riser with bamboo cores and juniper veneers under clear glass. I sold to gentleman in Mississippi, Alabama or Louisianna...he sold it afterwards.

it was a great shooting bow...

I have a Vision Falcon now with two sets of limbs that is every bit as nice a bow....

You cant go wrong with a Robertson.

T-Bowhunter · August 08, 2013, 08:09:00 PM

Great Looking Bow!

meathead · August 08, 2013, 08:35:00 PM

Pretty bow. Robertson makes one of the best. I love mine.

damascusdave · August 08, 2013, 08:52:00 PM

Just went outside with mine and put a cold shot broadhead into my target right where I was looking...I am going to hunt with my Howatt Hunter this fall and my Fatal Styk as a back-up...just gotta get in tight on a nice bull elk

A real beauty Chuck,Congrats.

nineworlds9 · August 08, 2013, 10:22:00 PM

Thanks guys. It's a looker and a shooter. JeffG my pal was 100% right about his and I thank him for pointing me toward a Robertson. The Rob, the Habu, and my Stewart are my definite keeper bows. Everything else, we'll see.

I'm pretty sure that this bow will be a major booster shot to curing me of my classifieds addiction. I pray that it is actually. LOL
