I have a Dauntless, just a fantastic bow, pretty to look at, shoots well and they are great people to do business with!!

Great bows!  I have a Dwyer original longbow - sweet draw, smooth shooting bow. And as said, great people to deal with.

I shot with a group this year at an Ojibwa Bowhunters shoot this summer and they all had Dwyers and couldn't say enough about them. One of the guys who was in his 70's was shooting the new Endeavor and loved it. He said it could shoot any spined arrow and made me shoot his 48#r with my 65/70 spined wood arrows. I wasn't shooting well that day, which isn't anything new, but the arrow hit its mark and felt great in the hand.  His bows always look great and as Whip said great people to deal with. One of his bows will be next on my list.

Only thing as good as their bows is them.  Dave, Sue and Corey are all first class.  Some of the nicest "tips" in the business.

Defiant, think I got it from whip, has a handle style 'I' like and the tip detail is nice. Feather  weight, smooth draw all the lines are clean durable finish. Not a fast bow, whisper quiet

I've shot the Dwyer longbow (original).  Shoots great... looks great... and the folks are top shelf; however, my hand is just to large for the riser (it went above the shelf).

Yep.  I just posted a thread on a new Endeavor I received.  Dwyers was the first custom bowyer I visited when I started all of this.  There's no denying the great esthetics of their bows but I couldn't really appreciate the shooting qualities at the time.  Now it seems I've come full circle and the two bows I'm keeping in the stable are both Dwyers.  They, to me, are very natural shooters, meaning that my first arrow of the day usually goes where I want it and for hunting purposes that's a big deal.
