Are these still in production?  Bowyer was Steve Welte out of WI.

Thanks.

Does anyone know anything about the quality of these bows?
I have an opportunity at a basically brand new one from about 2001 or so.

Looks like a nice longbow, but don't know much about longbows.  Thx.

Steve's daughter has taken over the making of Deathwish bows. She is a master woodworker and the bows reflect her talents. The entire family was at the Traditional shoot in Coon Rapids, MN this last June.

I own a Deathwish bow and like it a lot. It is 68" long and draws 59#. It feels good and looks good. If the bow is in good shape, I would say "Go for it!".

I second what a Caboo said.  Talked to Steve and his daughter.  The bows looked great.

Try to find out if Charles Bronson shoot one.  If he did, then they must be a quality bow.

I had Osage Deathwish years ago and traded on here for a Red River recurve. I wish I had it back now!!!

I have a 62" 50# deathwish. I really like mine. I met Steve at the WTA banquet. His daughter is building the bows now. Good people.
