New to Me Dale Dye
« on: July 10, 2008, 01:04:00 PM »
Just wanted to show some pics of my new to me Dale Dye TD recurve that I got this morning. I think she's one sweet bow, but I might be prejudice...LOL

Bill, It's the 60" 55#@28" Mexican Rosewood (bocote) with bocote limb veneers and checkered grip. Already put some arrows thru it and its a keeper!

TJ, It shoots great, right to where I'm looking. It's not as fast as my Mojostick but it too is dead quiet.

Nice, speed isn't everything.  Straight and Quiet is hard to beat. Doe's it have a FF or a Dacron string?

Fred,

If you take it to Denton, don't walk anywhere close to a/the Bow Trader table!!    :eek:   Mr. Berger has certainly had some nice looking Dye bows in his stable.  Mr. Dye is in the process of building a couple for him that's under 45# draw weight.  I've posted pics of the one I'm buying from him on another thread.    :D    :biglaugh:

Fred,

As you well know, they shoot as well as, if not better than, they look!

Thanks!

Fred you are getting as bad as me. I have a beauty of a Dye and am working on getting another. The one I have has a beautiful Vermillion riser and the one I am working on has a beautiful Stripped ebony riser. Both have a checkered grip and gloss finish. I take it you got yours from Steve Berger. So did I.

Danny, These Dye's are an addiction all to themselves. Been wanting one for awhile now and finally have one. Mine is also from Steve, he has several beauties.
