Frank, the only thing you could do better than buy a Dakota bow would be to go down to Arkansas and have Rick custom fit it for you. There are a lot of things about the bow that you might not think to specify or ask that Rick will notice if he sees you shoot. I bought my bow from Rick while I was attending his shooting school, and as a result, everything about the bow was perfect out of the box. All I had to do was string the bow and shoot it. Nock point already tied on in the right place, arrows already bought, correct material on the side plate and shelf to make the arrows hit where I was looking. No adjustments needed.
