Scott, that is one beautiful and excellent shooting bow! Excellent craftsman ship Mike!

[John Havard]

Scott, thanks very much for the kind words and writeup.  Like Mike and I have said many times, our opinion doesn't count.  Ultimately our customers have to be satisfied.  Thank you.

After ~2500 rounds, the honeymoon continues.

I trust that the attraction is neither carnal nor licentious.

This bow has become the first for which I have conceded to willingly accept a new site window.

good review

[wingnut]

We've got 10 sets of these limbs going on on Tuesday from Hungary to California.

Hopefully they will be as happy with theirs.  LOL

The ultimate find is to locate a personal fitting grip that you are absolutely sold on.

Shot two 3D rounds this morning among this seemingly saga-like heat wave. The 2nd round was totally different than the early trek.  Perspiration was a constant flow, yet my loose grip remained totally stable and unaffected. ..

Never before have experienced this type of stability under such conditions…

Can only attest that this grip is a personal  best fit.

Thanks for the write up. Is this the standard Orion grip or did you ask for something smaller? I have been looking at options for a new bow for a while and value well thought out opinions. Dryad are definitly on my short list... Of course that Tall Tines you sold recently was a real beauty too!

[Friend]

Dogboy900---It is their standard medium grip,

Thanks again for writing such a well written review of a bow! i hope others will take the time to write reviews like this in the future

*There are reviews based on initial impressions
**There are reviews based on merely a brief acquaintance
*** There are reviews based on experiences after several 1000 rounds

My review after a brief acquaintance still stands firmly rooted even after 4000+ rounds.

Please due note that my review is based on my personal perspective.

Nicely written!

Any BIGGER PICS?

That is a beautiful bow!  Love to see more of it if you don't mind.

I have browsed the Dryad site many times and they have some great looking stuff.  I'd love to have one of their 17 or 19 inch ILF risers right now.  Their combinations of woods and colors makes for some awesome looking risers.

Hey Dryad, if I got one of your 17 or 19 inch ILF risers, would I be able to get a set of the ACS recurve limbs at some point and use them on the riser?
Also, are you noticing any difference in performance between the ILF and BOLT DOWN ACS limbs?

Thanks.

CONGRATS on the great bow.

Nala,

The ILF version is ~5 fps slower than the bolt- down Orion. This occurrence is due to building a riser to accomodate the various ILF limbs thus both inherently and inevitably compromising performance.

The images may be copied to Power Point then simply enlarged.

Nala,

We don't build a 19" riser but our current 17" does support any of our limbs.  That applys to both the ILF and Orion (bolt-down)

17" riser plus long recurve limbs does that make a 64" AMO?
