I have one I bought back in '93, 64" 60#. Very nice shooting bow. Very mild r/d, nice thin tips,tough as nails.
They have a narrow grip that can bite the wedge of your hand, I filed mine a bit rounder. I can take a pic and email you if you would like.

Steve's bows are excellent!!  I do not believe they are fast flight compatible.  He is very hard to get a hold of, but I think his bows are top notch ... I still love my Dwyers though.

Excellent longbows. I've owned two and wish that I had never gotten rid of them. Traditional Archery Magazine did a story and interview with Steve several years ago. If I can locate my copy I'll post the issue here. It was very informative to me.
Both of the bows I owned had dished grips with excellent leather wraps and they fit my hand perfectly.

Steve's bows were some of the first for me. After a ton of other bows I have never found a reason to sell my Deathwish bows. They are fine examples of a mild r/d design, with outstanding construction.
