Dale Dye Recurve

[free2bow]

I know I would have to find one used, which I hope to do.  But what bow out there new has a feel as close to a Dale Dye as possible?  I consider the grip on the Dale Dye exceptional.

Robertson Fatal Stick is similar. I agree on the Dye grip. I like them so much that I own 5 of them. Two medicine points two trails end and one one piece swift medicine. If the shoe fits wear it.

Its kinda hard to find a duplicate to the Dale Dye grip and his arrow shelf work that I consider part of the grip on a Dye.Because of how it wraps around the fat of your hand between the thumb and index finger.His grip is also wide where the hand sits.

Maybe a Blacktail,Brooks bows or Wes Wallace to some degree.Border Black Douglas has a similar shelf extention.

I would probably just run a wanted add for a Dye in your weight range.Ypu would have to be a Contributer here to do that or gtry another site.I have seen a few for sale lately.

Sorry I was not much help.You  might have a bowyer try and replicate the grip on the bow he builds.I had a Morrison grip many moons ago on a Shawnee riser that was templated on the Dye grip.It was pretty close.But not a replica.

If that grip suits you I can see why you would want one like it.Its unique and well thought out.

x2 on the grip. I shot Dales bows for close to 20 years, really fit my hand

Look at a Fox High Sierra

Got my 1st Dye (I own 15) in 1988, grip fits like a glove like most guys I've shot others and for me the only one comes close is the Robertson. I like the older Robertson, riser is longer & seems thicker

Dale not making bows any longer?

He's still building bows just not taking anymore orders he's gonna retire within the next year ....sad but at 79 yrs old can't say I could do it at his age

Love the Dye grip.  Feels like my hand melts into it.  At 79 years young I'd say retirement is well deserved!
