Bob, I have purchased four Assenheimers, my wife shoots one and my son shoots one. I personally don't think I will ever shoot anything else. I just got my latest one that I ordered at Cloverdale as well. Well worth the wait.
Several may say they are not that fast, but for me they are plenty fast enough for the quietness.
If your interested in used, I have a 60# at 29" I'm selling. The riser is the action wood camo with the limbs to match. It's a 1997 bow, however it's like new. I'm the original owner and only have shot the bow two seasons. I have a Selway bolt on quiver and a case custom made for it by Kelly that I'm selling with it. Donny just went over it last summer and tweaked the limbs for me. You can email me for pics if you'd like. I'm asking $350 plus shipping for all.

I've never owned one, but have shot a couple. Good shootin' bows. Living in central Ohio, I hear a lot of talk about them. I've yet to hear a bad comment about the bow or the man.

Ive owned several Assenheimers over the years. In my quest to shoot other bows I have sold or traded every one of them. Big mistake on my part.

I got one from a fellow trad ganger for my moose hunt this fall. It is the quietest recurve I have ever shot and I love the grip. The arrow sits almost right on my hand. It's 62" and 60" @ 28 but you would never know it because it's so smooth. You can't go wrong with one !

I once had a 66", 55# @ 28". I draw recurves 31-1/2"-32". It was a nice bow. Well built, reasonable performance.

I have been shooting Don's bows since 1985. The original bow that I bought was 66 inch 68lb limbs. Since age has taken its toll (on me) I'm shooting 55lb on the original handle. I have sold over 10 bows for Don, just letting other people shoot mine. You can't go wrong with an Assenheimer.

I have never felt one, whats the weight of his recurve like, is it a failry heavy Riser?

Not at all. I think Widows have a heavy riser (not a slam against Widows, I only own 5 of em). Don's risers have gotten slimmer over the years. One of the first bows that Don made for me, back in 1997 I think, had a fairly blocky riser. Not heavy, but kind of chunky feeling in the hand. The risers he's making today are slim and trim and weight wise, I'd say they're in the middle of the pack for a TD recurve.

Thanks Otto, I actually want a little weight for stability, I have a Toelke Td with Bubunga Riser that might actually be a little to light for me. Is cocobola and bocote a heavier weight than Bubinga?
