So who's shot the Dwyer Endeavor??

[Two Arrows]

These look like a really nifty 58" bow. I drooled over one at the Nebraska Traditional Archer's shoot last summer, but I couldn't shoot at the time. Anybody have any input on how they shoot, performance, speed, etc, etc????

I will let you know after the Kzoo expo.  It is on the list.

I shot one with Dwyer at the GLLI last summer. He was shooting it at the target butts and he knows I like his longbow. It is a good shooter like the longbow and dauntless. I have a draw between 27-28", and it was fine, I don't know how it is with longer draws. As I remember it was as fast as anything else and not loud. If you like short longbows it is a nice bow.

I have one on order, cant wait to get it, should have it at the end of May....never have shot one but seems like a nice bow

I am new to trad. hunting and bought a beginner Samick Sage to start the journey for my son and I.

I work in the same town as Dave and he helped us set up our new bows. He had an endeavor ready to be finished and I can't beleive the smooth lines of that thing. He let us shoot his dauntless I think and that was a beauty as well.

I don't know much about long bows, but both my son and I were drawn to the beauty of that endeavor.

I spent some time shooting one at the same Nebraska Traditional Archers shoot last year.
I bought a used Dale Dye Trails End that morning from Mike Horton or I would of taken that Endeavor home. Very nice short longbow. My opinion is Dwyer hit a homerun with the Endeavor. I really like my 62" Dauntless also.

It is a mavelous bow!  I have a long 30 plus inch draw ... never noticed any stack or pinch.  I think I was getting about 180 fps @ 9 grain per pound or so.  Also very quiet and no hand shock.  This one was a prototype.  Another had a newer Endeavor.  It was just as fast and quiet and 6 pounds lighter draw.  Yeah, they are sweet bows if you like a handle forward, short long bow ... great for hunting from a blind.

Well now that folks are coming home from Kzoo does anyone have more opinions?

[xtrema312]

I shot it a couple times each day.  Loved it!  They only had a real low 40's, 45, and 60@28.  I would have loved to shoot a 50-52#.  I shot the 45.  It was really zipping my carbons at about 540 gr.  Smooth, fast, no hand shock I could feel.  I draw 29 1/4" and no problem at all.  It was real accurate for me.  I would say real quiet, but it is so hard to be sound critical in a crowd.  The grip is a little thinner and more rectangular in nature than I am used to, but it worked very well for me.  I shot a 62" Dauntless that was nice, but I think I liked the endeavor better.

There was an Endeavor there?   :confused:        I couldn't let go of that Dauntless long enough to even see anything else.  It was literally they only bow I saw on his rack because as soon as my eyes saw it everything else disappeared.  If it were a 2pc it would have came home.  Oh yeah we were talking about the Endeavor; Sorry!   :D

Make a right turn then a quick hair pin left to the other side of the rack.  :D

I should add that I saw quite a few people shoot that bow and come away with a smile.  Even one of the biggest shrew fan couldn't keep his hands off it.

Anyone else?

I shot one at Kalamazoo on the weekend. The bow was 48#@28. It drew back as smooth as slik to my 29 inch draw. I was shooting a 600grain arrow, and it smoked an arrow. I have put it on my lists of bows I would love to own.

I have 4 original Dwyer longbows and 1dauntless, after shooting the endeavor at Kzoo I want one bad.Dave makes great bows you will not be disapointed if you get one can't say enough good things about them.
