No Sley yet. Should be here tues. or weds. Phil Bondin, Sammy, Jason ,and myself shot together.Sammy & Jason tied at 265 and I got them with a 266.They had a good turn out,17 recurves & 9 longbows. 71 total shooters. Great corse, good mix 10 to 35 yds. Jason got the long shot novilty shoot. We had to shoot with the wheel bows, and we they upset.

WFL\KY,
where you shooting at? I don't live far from Murray if your talking Western KY. I work in Paducah. Didn't even realize there were that many traditional shooters within a 100miles of here.

RE: Bowhunter4life?
 

Jeff, I know you also shoot a BW recurve, (so do I) so should give a basis for comparison that I can easily relate too. What differences have you noticed w/the Dakota/BW? Some that say ya need a higher nock set on a Dakota, have you found this to be the case? Are both bows similar in draw weight & if so how much difference in cast is there? Do you shoot the same arrows from both? Where do you brace your Dakota for maximum quietness/speed? Also, is your Dakota really &quot;longbow quiet&quot;? It would seem there has to be a price (in &quot;loudness&quot;) for the kind of performance Dakotas are reported to have...

Arrowsmit,

That is a beautiful bow.
No wonder, you can't wait to get yours.

RE: Bowhunter4life?
 

Thanks guys, I think she'll be drop dead gorgeous too (& I hope the deer feel the same way LOL!) The woods are distressed cocabola/curly maple w/thin lines of osage/blk glass/osage sanswiched between. Mine will have wood overlays on the back of the riser instead of antler & will be stained bamboo limbs w/out the japanese ash shown in the pic. It will have antler limbtips tho. Didn't cost too much more than a &quot;standard&quot; either. Just so happened that Mr. Morrison was out of a particular dymondwood, & he gave me the option of getting curly maple (much nicer IMO) or waiting 2 more weeks till he got the dymondwood in. What a refreshing attitude from a bowyer! Most would've said nothing & I'd have waited the extra 2 weeks w/out even knowing. Anyhow, I found this pic in the meantime & decided to have him clone it to large extent, so it worked out to where I'm getting this bow for not a whole lot more than a &quot;standard&quot; model. From everything I've read (& I've read everything I can find) the bow will shoot as good as it looks. Yep, you could say I'm excited! Bob Morrison is one heck of a guy who seems to really listen & have the customers satisfaction at heart. Most other bowyers could benefit by emulating him IMO. BTW, he's gluing up my riser today. I hit that lucky too, he said after Kalimazoo he'd be snowed under. Looks like the &quot;blind hawg&quot; syndrome finally hit home for me fellas.

Oh yea I know it will Jeff. Eventually. Been here before (too many times actually LOL), but except my 1st one (Ole#1) I can't remember being quite this antsy before. Nothing quite like the anticipation of waiting on a new custom bow is there? I'm starting to wonder if this is part of my addiction. Hehehe! That Adcock sound like a gorgeous one too! tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock...GOTTA LOVE IT!!
