I know I would have to find one used, which I hope to do.  But what bow out there new has a feel as close to a Dale Dye as possible?  I consider the grip on the Dale Dye exceptional.

Robertson Fatal Stick is similar. I agree on the Dye grip. I like them so much that I own 5 of them. Two medicine points two trails end and one one piece swift medicine. If the shoe fits wear it.

Its kinda hard to find a duplicate to the Dale Dye grip and his arrow shelf work that I consider part of the grip on a Dye.Because of how it wraps around the fat of your hand between the thumb and index finger.His grip is also wide where the hand sits.

Maybe a Blacktail,Brooks bows or Wes Wallace to some degree.Border Black Douglas has a similar shelf extention.

I would probably just run a wanted add for a Dye in your weight range.Ypu would have to be a Contributer here to do that or gtry another site.I have seen a few for sale lately.

Sorry I was not much help.You  might have a bowyer try and replicate the grip on the bow he builds.I had a Morrison grip many moons ago on a Shawnee riser that was templated on the Dye grip.It was pretty close.But not a replica.

If that grip suits you I can see why you would want one like it.Its unique and well thought out.

x2 on the grip. I shot Dales bows for close to 20 years, really fit my hand

I have seen quite a few for sale in the last few months.

Got my 1st Dye (I own 15) in 1988, grip fits like a glove like most guys I've shot others and for me the only one comes close is the Robertson. I like the older Robertson, riser is longer & seems thicker

Dale not making bows any longer?

Love the Dye grip.  Feels like my hand melts into it.  At 79 years young I'd say retirement is well deserved!
