New Bow. 3 pc TD. .Dryad Bows
« on: January 05, 2008, 11:33:00 AM »
Well some got to test drive Jason's three piece takedown prototypes last summer.  He now has the design perfected and is ready to roll it out.

Technically this is not a Dryad Bow as it contains (gulp) fiberglass.  LOL  But it is a dandy and very quick.

The three piece TD longbow is offered in 58, 60, and 62 inches.  Limbs are black glass with a Tonkin bamboo core and the riser can be any exotic wood we have available.

Check out the pics and let us know what you think.

 

 

 

BTW the way this bow as shown is only $550 plus shipping.

He has already taken a couple of orders via word of mouth so if you want one in short order give us a call.

Y'all have been busy! Now I know why my blank is not here yet! LOL!!
No problem....I'm hunting next week and no time for scraping yet anyway. Now that y'all have succumbed to FG is carbon far behind?
Great lines on the new riser-beautiful bow, all the best with your new products.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!  Nice!  Somedays I wish I never learned how to make a bow for myself, then I could justify buying something like that!

I was fortunate enough to shoot Jason's Black and Yella prototype last summer at ETAR. Very smooth and fast. A pleasure to shoot.

Oh Mike, man you're killing me. The wife said maybe one but not both right now. This is to put you on notice I'm ordering one just as soon as we get past uncle sam and the IRS!!! But man which one first?? Love that take down, but would love to finish one of the blanks as well. OH well I've got time to decide. As usual great work and very beautiful bows.

Dryads are tree nymphs in Greek mythology. In Greek drys signifies 'oak,' from an Indo-European root *derew(o)- 'tree' or 'wood'.

In other words they are the spirit of the tree.
