First of all let me say that I'm using my Dad's login because I'm at his house for Christmas.

I just wanted to share with the Gang some of my boys favorite Christmas gifts.

This story starts a few months ago.

I was on the phone with Mike Westvang of Dryad Bows leting him know just how proud I was of my brand new Dryad Orion longbow.

During the course of the conversation I told Mike how my youngest son told me, "Dad, that's a beautiful bow, I want one just like it!"

"Well," Mike says, "Jason and I have been talking about a new youth model bow..."

I jumped all over that!  I told him right there on the spot, stop thinking about it and get after it because you've got two sold...  And, by the way, I need them by Christmas!

No pressure I told him...

I just need them here BEFORE Christmas!      


The new Dryad Pheonix wasn't ready to go into production just yet, but Mike and Jason didn't back up a bit, they set to the task of working their magic.

Some of you may remember that my Dad and I got sister bows, Dryad Orions, made from Bocote and Pau Santo a few months back.  We elected to build these kids bows to match.  The same wood combos as Dad and I used in a rverse pattern.

This first ever set of Dryad Pheonix Youth Bows are a sister set just like may dad and I have.

Here are the 4 bows together:

Having enlisted Mike and Jason to build the bows I set about to build Back Quivers for my young archers.

Mine part didn't take as much work as what Mike and Jason did, but I thought they turned out nice, and the boys were sure proud of them!

I just can't say enough good about Mike and Jason and these hot new youth bows!

The Dryad Pheonix is the newest bow in the incredible Dryad Inventory and my boys are certainly enjoying shooting the first two ever built!

These bows are fast, quiet, and hard hitting!  My oldest was shooting lights out in just a few moments.  The handle is a minature version of the adult sized Dryad bows and pointing and shooting the bow is literally as natural as pointing your finger!

I want to say a real BIG Thank You to Mike and Jason of Dryad Bows!!!!  You have made my boys have a tremendous Christmas!

I'll be back later with anothe picture or two but, for the time being, Merry Christmas to all of you. God Bless.

Pretty cool, sure are some nice looking bows! Merry Christmas!

Those young men were sure a pair of happy future bow hunters. The bows were beautiful and shot really great. The boys shot them very well today and Dad and Granpaw are looking forward to future hunts with these young men.

What an awesome Christmas! Nothing better than spending time with your kids. I had my three and my three grandkids here yesterday. They all took off for their inlaws today, so it's just Grandma and me today. Sure is quiet! Too quiet, if you know what I mean.

Those are beautiful bows. I just love bocote limbs. Thanks for sharing.

you done good to get the boys those set ups, they look real proud of their new quivers and bows. I love your real pine with pop corn strings - old school.

Mike and Jason - you guys got soul! That was a great piece of work to get those designed, built and delivered on time. I'm betting that new youth line is gonna take off. Kudos.
