Thanks for all your comments; I'll pass them along to my friend.
The Dakota bow is my newest. I took Rick's class in January, and ordered the bow then. It arrived about the end of May, and I've been mainly shooting that bow since then. This is without a doubt the most perfectly tuned bow, out of the box, with some arrows Rick had me buy back in Arkansas, that I have ever shot. The first time I shot it, with the tied-on nock in the place Rick put it, it shot where I looked, and the bare shafts flew exactly parallel with the fletched shafts. This could be just a coincidence, or it could be because Rick observed my shooting in the class, and did some fine tuning of his own before he shipped the bow to me. Rick doesn't bare shaft tune himself, but he must have a remarkable feel for how a particular arrow will fly from one of his bows.
I've been shooting Black Widows for 20 years, and have taken all my game with them. I have one Black Widow that I mainly hunt with (not the PGA; it's too pretty), and I would imagine when it comes right down to deciding what bow will go on the airlines with me, it will still probably be that original BW, the first one I ever bought. It has too many beauty marks from too many hunts, and it would be like leaving my lab at home when I hunt ducks.
