I have not had the opportunity to shoot a tall tines yet..but I have alot of experience with Dakotas. My two favorite bows are a Habu by Chris Cox, and a Dakota by Rick Welch. Honestly...I think there are so many good bows being made that it really comes down to personal preference.
I don't have my Dakota anymore, because I put it up for raffle for a guy who really needed the money, but I'm going to get another one. I'll try out the tall tines at K'zoo. But for now...I can't let go of my Habu's. It is a good thing when you find the right bow for you!
