I like her quivers as well as I like his bows.  That is to say they are both great.  I have a defiant.  I shot it better than I did the dauntless in the day I test drove it so that is what I ordered.  Great bow.

Stringcutter, I have tried both and like and own 3 originals. I actually like it better.  BILL

TSP

The Dwyer is one bow that exceeded my expectations.  Bought mine from Anvil (great person to deal with) here on TradGang awhile back...62", 49#@28"...and it feels three pounds lighter on the draw.  Nicely finished, attractive, comfortable grip, very smooth (boo lams) and quick for the weight.  I'm well-satisfied with it.

Here's the Original I bought from Varmint (also a great person to deal with, one of the best) here a few weeks ago. Same as TSP said - love this bow!

I'm torn between the dauntless that I have on order and the defiant???? I want the narrow limbs of the dauntless but want a D shaped longbow 62 inches.... But from what I can gather the defiant has more of a flatbow type limb... which I really don't like...

Can't beat Dwyer longbows!  I own 2 Defiant's, a Dauntless, and an Original.  I think I like the original best but it is my lightest bow and don't use it for hunting much.  They all are great though.

Nate how wide are the limbs on the Defiant???? I understand that the other 2 models have narrower limbs then the run of the mill longbow... are the Defiant's about normal width for a longbow???

I have a new bamboo Dauntless and love it , also have his standard longbow and that too is a great bow. My wife has his standard bow in tulip wood, light as a feather, you cant pry this bow away from her. Dave makes a great bow, and some of the best tip overlays i have seen.

Best advice I can give is call Dave, he's always more than happy to talk bows and hunting, He's good people.
I can't help you out with the Dauntless, but the Defiant I have.  Limbs 1.5 inches at the widest point tappered to 5/8 just below tip overlays.  Bought my defiant '04 Juniper limbs, sassafrass core, Bolivian Rosewood handle with osage accent stripe, beautiful...52#@28", I draw 27 1/4.  Very smooth draw, love the bow, first year out spike bull elk fell to a homemade cedar carrying a zwicky eskimo 2 blade, 17 yards quartering away, double lung. only went 20 yards!  Biggest thrill of my life to that point!

And the Defiants limbs are definately wider than standard longbow, not as deep, and not trappezoid in cross section

Sounds Like the Defiant isn't a longbow at all but a flatbow???? With 1 1/2 inch limbs???
My J.D. Berry longbow is only 1 inch at the widest point and my Yellowstone longbow is only 1 1/16th.....

I'm not sure what you'd call it, but I call mine aweful purty, and a sweet shootin machine
