Tim:
I just purchased a Dalaa from 3 Rivers about three weeks ago. I have been thinking about this purchase for about two years, and finally made the plunge. I like traditional wood bows, which I have been shooting for almost 40 years. The Dalaa, however, has a camo finish, although as a hunting bow it is attractive in its own way. After shooting it for three weeks, I must say that it is a fantastic bow. It is very quiet, has a very smooth draw, it shoots where you look, and it shoots very fast for its draw weight (I bought the carbon/foam limbs). It comes setup to shoot off the shelf, and can be adjusted (for draw weight, center shot, tiller) or can simply be left alone as it comes out of the box. Moreover, one can use limbs from many sources (ILF limbs), so it might be a good initial choice for a young archer with changing needs and preferences.
