As mentioned Dave's bows are very reasonably priced for the quality you receive.  This bow, unfortunately no one can afford other than 1Screagle because I promised him that if I ever decided to sell he'd get first chance and he's already itching!  Ken, I had Dave touch it up and upgrade the grip because this is too nice a bow to let diminish, and I'm looking to kill a few critters with it to add to the mojo.  My elk hunt for this coming fall fell through, so I'm all chips in on a big whitetail come November.  First though it's going turkey hunting in late April with my daughter and I.  It's 60" length works well in a tent blind.  Ordering a new SBD string and some Surewood shafts and we're good to go!
Lost Arra:  It's a Defiant pulling 55@28 and knowing that you have an Endeavor I can give you a direct comparison;  the endeavor is a smidge smoother at the end of the draw (I draw just shy of 29") and is a bit quicker.  I will say though that this bow for me points a little better, and there is less preload on the draw.  Also having an Original what I like best about the Dwyers is that the grips and center cut are so similar that with matched arrows you can switch models with ease.
Thanks for the responses, and Ken, if you ever need to borrow it for a really special hunt, let me know, we'll work something out.
Mike

Thanks Mike,

Just knowing you you are willing makes urning easier. I'm glad you love it as much as I do. I would truely love to spend some time with you, shoot, hunt, hang out? If you plan on doing any WTA shoots let me know. I have some ideas about some events I'd like to initiate here in Wi. and Iowa. Hope you can put more mojo to Legolas with your daughter. Take care!

Dwyers are one of the best crafted longbows in the business, pretty much flawless. Nice shooters to boot.

Worth your time to do so.  The only longbow that I have ever kept is a Dwyer Defiant.

One of the biggest reasons I want to have my Defiant back is to honor Dave, I felt bad when I sold it, Like I was letting him down. He doesn't look at it that way, I do. Just going thru my learning curve and didn't have the resources to keep them all. I'll have another or hopefully the one I had one day. I've gotten to know Dave a little, shot a round of 3-d with him, fun guy, great to hang with. I LOVE his work, great bowyer and great guy!

Very nice bow. There is something to say about all the fine bowyers here in Wisconsin. Top Notch bows and people.

Nice bow! I'm going to the WI deer & turkey expo tomorrow in Madison, and Dwyer will be there. I think I'll shoot one.
