My new Dale Stahl T/D recurve arrived at The Archery Shop last Thursday.  I picked it up Saturday and shot it enough, 4 shots, to know it is like all of the other Dale Stahl bows I've owned.  It's buttery smooth, very quiet and very, very fast for a 62", 47#@28" bow shooting 500+ gr arrows.

Below are some pics of it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The limbs have some gorgeous Birdseye Bocote Veneers and Dale did a phenomenal job on the limb bolt pads!  The riser is gorgeous, too.  And it shoots just as beautiful as it looks.

WOW one of the best looking bows I've seen.

Nice!!  

That is a beautiful bow, good luck with it.

That's a beaut.  November and a Super Wildcat (1-piece) sould be headed to me!  Dale hasn't called me yet for the final decison on woods yet.

WHEEWW DOGGY!

Very nice!

Sweet bow Bill!

Bill,
That bow is stunning. I may have to get one of them.

What are the riser woods?  The light wood looks like Mrytle or Tiger?  Is the "reddish" cocobolo?

Amazing, but how do you take something like that out in to the woods? Too pretty.

One of the best looking Dale Stahl bows I've seen to date! Congrats Bill.

The riser woods are Bocote and Cocobolo with black Phenolic and Cocobolo accent stripes down the center of the riser.  The bow has so many accents on the riser I'm not sure I can definitively say what all of them are.

Roy,

I may be wrong, but I think the Super Wildcat is built by Brandon Stahl from OH.  Dale Stahl is from PA.

Bill

Yes they are different. Both excellent bowyers. This is a gorgeous bow and the Wildcat is a gorgeous bow.
We are all blessed to live in a time of excellency and some of the best bowyers the world has ever seen in my opinion. These are the good old days in that respect.

God Bless you and thanks for showing your beautiful bow. I would put my name on that one in a hot second and I'm pickey. Steve

That is flat out gorgeous!!!

Yep, I got them confused.  Actually, I didn't know where Dale Stahl was from. My Super Wildcat will be from Rose Oak Creations in NW Ohio.

Thats a beauty!  

Roy,

Yes, both Dale and Brandon build some beautiful bows.  In fact, Brandon builds some rather unique bows.  

My first Dale Stahl T/D recurve was a somewhat plain Jane Bubinga riser with gray actionwood stripe and Red Elm limbs.  But it was a great shooting bow.  I've tried dozens of times over the past 7 or 8 years to talk the owner of The Archery Shop to sell it back to me.  He still owns it!!  :(

I've had 3 or 4 other Dale Stahl bows since then and foolishly I've sold all of them.  I won't be selling this one, unless I get to the point that I can no longer shoot it.  But then again, I may just hang it on the wall to look at along with my relatively new Marriah Thermal Ric Anderson built for me and the new to me Crow Creek Black Feather T/D longbow that I shipped to Elmer yesterday to have him refinish.

Bill

wow, that is one good looking bow there.
