My new Robertson Stykbow

[McDave]

I particularly like the way Dick used curved laminations in the riser; I also like the way he managed to make the laminations form an "X" in the throat of the grip.

The light wood is fiddleback maple, and the darker wood is cocobolo.  The limbs have bamboo cores and juniper veneers.

Matt,

I bought a Vision longbow from another member of this forum, and decided it was the best longbow I have ever shot.  So I called Dick and gave him an order for this recurve.  It takes 6-7 months from the date of the order for him to make the bow and ship it to you.

The bow is 55# @ 28", which is also my draw length.  I first shot some 3555 Gold Tips, but found that they were too weak; to shoot 3555's, I would have to load too much weight on the back and couldn't get the FOC I wanted.  I finally decided on 5575's with a 145 grain point, which fly very nicely.  They also fly fine with 125 grain points, but better with 145 grain points.  It is very quiet with the silencers that Dick provides on the string.

The most distinguishing point of the bow, other than the artistry of construction, is it's light weight.  It is the noticeably the lightest of any of my recurves.

It is too early to tell if it will be my favorite recurve, but it is definitely in the running.

This is a picture of me shooting it, if that will help you get any idea.  I have to say it is me shooting it, because people often think it is Johnny Depp, but it is a common mistake and I don't get bothered by it anymore.

Dave, please let me know when this one no longer works for you.
I've been watching your posts, but don't often see any bows for sale.
Can I see your wall?

Dick has been and continues to be one of the finest bowyers out there. His work is shooting art pieces that look and perform at a high level.
