Does anyone know if Don is OK? I heard he had had a stroke in 2011. I had two of his bows and they were stolen out of my truck in Nov. I would like to get another one but have not been able to reach him. I have called and emailed.
I hope he is doing well and is just not making bows anymore. They are the best shooting bows I have ever shot. If anyone can give me some insight I would appreciate it.

Don't know what you are looking for, but there have been a couple in the classifieds lately.

True But unfortunately they are the dark side bows Right handed.

I am looking for a Lefty. I have put an ad in classified "WTB Assenheimer Recurve"
Thanks for the input.

I heard he was done building bows but I did not hear that from Don directly.

Ed Frye · « **Reply #10 on:** January 15, 2013, 09:26:00 PM »

I hope not but understand if he has. The two I had were great. I had given the #52 to my son this year and was using a #70 I picked up here off of trad gang 5-6 years ago. Makes me sick that someone stole them. Was hoping maybe I could get one with my name or maybe my son's name on a custom made one. He makes one heck of a bow. He will be a Bowyer that will be missed.

I got the impression that he wintered in the south now. Might be the reason...

Ed Frye · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2013, 11:56:00 PM »

well that would be good. I hope that is why no one can get a hold of him. I'll keep trying though.

I spoke with Glenn Assenheimer earlier this evening. I had a bow that was in the process of being built. Unfortunately Don and his wife have been ill since October. Don has had surgery recently and will not be building bows anytime soon. Glenn asked that I pass the message around as they are still getting numerous phone calls regarding new bows. If you had a bow on order the deposit will be refunded.

Sorry to hear of their ill health. I had asked about some light limbs to add to my existing Assenheimer bows - If any one knows of something lower than 49# that is available, I will appreciate it!

Ed Frye · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2013, 11:20:00 PM »

Thanks David,

I hope both Don and his wife recover well. I met Don In WV some years ago and am sorry to hear that they are ill. I will not try to contact anymore and hope that maybe he will be back making bows again.

God Bless Don and his wife and family

Don's bows are legendary. Hope he gets to feeling better.
