Just ordered one. Was wondering if anyone got some good pics for me to look at while I wait 4 months??

Nice bows, but I thought they went out of business.

Here's a couple of pics. It will definetly be worth the wait.

String Cutter, sent you a PM

Glad to hear I was mistaken. Love the bows, got a website for them?

thanks

Thanks.

Forgot to ask him how narrow are the limbs from the riser to the tip? Anyone know off hand??

Which model did you order?  The original longbow has narrow limbs that are thicker thru the core.  The Defiant is a thinner, wider limb with a pretty good amount of reflex/deflex built in.  The Dauntless has more of the reflex/deflex profile of the Defiant limbs, but are again narrower and thicker, similar to the original.  Hope that makes sense.

I ordereded the "D shaped Longbow" Was thinking of changin it to the Dauntless though??? Which do you like and why???

okie...whats the limb veneers on the far left of the three...thanks.

Got a Dauntless a couple of months ago and love it.  Comfortable grip, smooth draw, and pretty fast.  I just can't believe I'll be bringing this beauty into the woods.

String Cutter:  I have the D-shaped bow and like it alot.  Had Dave build it with bamboo lams and myrtle veneers.  Very smooth and quite quick.  Sorry, I don't have pix.  The Defiant and Dauntless are more hybrid in shape, i.e., greater reflex/deflex.  Will likely be slightly faster.  They all shoot well.  Just a matter of what you like to carry.

jacobsladder, I believe it's bocote. Not sure though. That's the one on the left of the right picture and the one on the left of the left picture is yellow heart riser with bamboo limbs. I actually only own the yellow heart bow. This was a picture that Dave sent me when I bought it. These were some he had made up and I didn't want to wait 4 - 6 months. It was very hard to choose just one. If I'd had the money I'd bought all three. Dave makes a great bow.

Since the Dauntless shoots faster cause of the R/D limbs, Could I order lighter limbs?? say 3-4 lbs lighter and get the same preformance as the Longbow shooting 60#??
This is going to be my elk hunting bow.... Need the power but would like to keep it light enough to shot 30-50 times a day.

Thought I would chime in here.  Dave is a real personable guy.  He always has bows in his shop to sell but will build a bow to your specs, expect about a 4 month wait.  Of the dauntless and defiant, the handles are identical.  However, if you require something special, he can custon make a handle specific for your grip.  That said, I love the wayu his bows feel in my hand.  They are really awesome, point and shoot bows.  I ahve a 62 inch defiant.  I love it, but my favorite is a 64 inch dauntless he made for the 2006 wisconsin traditional archers.  It is so smooth, and shoots quickly.  It is not blazing, but has good speed, like 170 fps for a 530 grain arrow.  It is 54 at 28, I shoot a 29 1/2 inch draw.  However, with boo cores, it quicks a bow up nicely.  I wish mine had them.

Give him a call, I think you will be glad you did.

Good luck,

Bob.

I have the defiant. Sorry no pictures
It is 62" 54# at 28"
Blood wood and ash.
Very nice shooting bow and nice grip.
I like my recurves and am thinking of letting this go when I figure out how to do pictures.
Dave is a very personable guy to talk to and do not forget sue, she does all the leather work. Makes nice quivers also.
