I'd bought this bow a few summers ago from a fellow tradganger (1screagle/Ken) but never posted pics. The story behind the bow is this, (as told to me by Sue Dwyer); Their son Corey wanted to pull out all the stops and make himself a bow with the agreement that he'd sell it within a year. I'm not exactly sure what all woods are in it because frankly, there are a bunch. The veneers are some really cool zebrawood and the riser has zebrawood, osage, cocobolo, ebony and whatever else. The limbs are bamboo. The tips themselves have 13 laminations. It's the only "Special Edition" Dwyer that I know of and when it was done, Corey killed an 8pt. buck with it and named it the "Legolas" bow. (Years from now it will have been a 7x7 elk and the bow packed it out itself ) Well it's fallen into my hands and I just had Dave refinish part of it and put on a new beavertail grip. Here's some eye candy for you. Enjoy.

What a beauty and I'm sure it's a shooter too.
What are the specs? Unbraced does it resemble a Defiant or Dauntless? Looks longer than the Endeavor.
