Should I buy a DAS DALAA bow???

[jarhead_hunter]

I have been researching the metal handled take down recurves available.

The advertising seems to show a favorable bias toward the Das Dalaa bows.

In the experience of the members of this board, are the Das Dalaa bows really that good???

All opinions, pro and con, are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks.

Charles.

Great bows, but so are the Trad-tech and Hoyts are nice too. I would go with a Hoyt first as they are half the price and than ya can see if you want that cold metal feeling! (lol!) It is a personal choice so it is up to you!! I have shot the DAS and they are shooters for sure!! Shawn

I bought one a couple months ago and have been shooting it non stop! I love it! well worth the money and they just shoot great. They are so smooth I keep waiting for it to "let off". My ONLY CON is it took some playing around with the silencer position to get it quiet. but that is really a con on any bow out there right?

You wont be sorry you went with one.

Hey ya Charles,

I haven't shot the DAS. I have a Quinn Stallion, it's also a metal riser bow. I had always shot one piece, wood riser bows before I got mine. It took quite a while to get used to the difference in how the two types of bows feel.

You might get hold of one and  shoot it some to make sure you like it (good advice for any new bow).

The Quinns are good bows too.

See if you can shoot one before you buy it. I had both a DAS and a TradTech Titan. Sold the DAS and kept the Titan for a number of reasons, one being that it just fit me better. Someone else may have done the exact opposite, but only you will know which of the many offerings on the market feels best to you...and it's nice to know before you spend your money.

Das all the way for me, OkKeith, I have also converted a Quinn stallion to a Das connection system for some longbow limbs, ended up a good shooter.cheers Pete.

If you like that kind of bow why not? Let us know how it shoots for you.

[owlbait]

Quinn would be a great place to start to make sure that is where you want to go.

Once had a Dalaa. Nice shooting bow and it simplified shaft tuning. The bow was quite accurate and enjoyable to shoot. I just couldn't get past the metal feeling even though it personally performed so well for me.

If you want one buy one.  I would try to find one to try out first.

I like "The Stick" by Strickland archery. This metal riser bow only recently come on the market after a couple years of design and testing.

OkKeith and Owlbait,

I don't know if Quinns are available now since David is fighting an illness.

I ordered a Quinn Stallion in March and paid in full.  The projection was for 6-8 weeks, but I'm up to 26 weeks now, and I have not been able to get a response to a couple e-mails.

Good bows and a fine man, but things are evidently very difficult at this juncture. I certainly wish him the VERY best.

I got into ILF back in may.But i've been lookin at the $250.00 down and six months to pay the balance on the DAS at three rivers.Hmmm merry Christmas to me.Maybe?

I love mine, shoots as good as any bow I have shot. I have several different limbs for mine and love to try different combinations.

[OkKeith]

Daryl,

I recall mention of some medical problems, but I didn't realize they were that serious.

That's a shame. The Quinn bow I have is a great, no-nonsense hunting tool. I bought it "barely" used from a fellow Tradganger a year or so ago.

I bet one could be found in the classifieds. I'm considering a search for additional limbs for mine.

The DAS bows are TOPS, with respect to the metal-risered bow world.  It is the bow that others are always compared to & well worth the cost.  

I've shot them all & still love my Quinns, but I feel that DAS trumps them all.  It is smoother, faster, more adjustable, better limb attachment system & absolutely bomb proof.

Of 20+ bows, this is my choice to hunt with 90% of the time.

i haven't shot the das but i bought a hoyt gamemaster, shot it two days and put up for sale, it shot fine but i've been shooting widows fo 15 years, it just didn't feel right to me. but it is a preference. it was a little noisey. but i read reviews where people said they could be quietened down.
