Robertson Bows
« on: June 27, 2013, 10:09:00 AM »
Can anyone share with me their impression of Robertson recurve bows?  I am looking at several takedown models but have no experience with them, other than to see pictures and go on their website.  Any information would be appreciated!

Dan, the Robertsons make very well crafted smooth bows.  I don't think you would be disappointed with one.

Dave, good to hear from you!  I haven't been very active on Trad Gang for a bit due to work and home schedule.  Hope you are having a good start to your summer.  I appreciate the feedback.  I have one I am considering.  How would you compare to a Dale Dye? (you nust have known that would be one of my questions!) LOL

Top of the line bows.  I picked up a Fatal Styk from the classifieds last year and love it!

The Robertson bow is a fine bow.  FatalStyk, TribalStyk or the older Peregrines & Falcons are all nice shooting bows and quicker than they are given credit for.

I took a nice bear with my TribalStyk this spring and Dick is reducing the weight on a Peregrine for me right now.

I bought a Fatal Styk off the classifieds a while back to scratcht the itch I've always had to try a Robertson.  Lets just say I was not disappointed!  Very nicely made and great shooting bow.  I really like the shape of the grip.

I got to handle some of their newer stuff in Florida 2 years ago....they seemed pretty  nice, I should have shot them when I had the chance.

Shot a fatal styk for several years, their grips are unbelievable and the bow itself is smooth and quiet

I just saw your bow list under your name. I've owned all on your list including a Robertson (have a Fatal Styk now). In my opinion, if you like the bows on your list, then you'll like the Robertson. As I said above, one of the best. They do have a try before you buy program as well.

Good luck
Kyle

I had a Purist longbow and currently have a Vision Falcon since 2007. I have been extremely satisfied with the craftsmanship, the beauty and performance of both bows. There are other good and great bows out there but I'll always buy Robertsons. Looking forward to a Wolfer one of these days.

Would suspect that the majority of great bows will never pass thru my hands.

Dan,

I am with everyone else on this one great shooting bows. Easy on the eyes too. I had to find something to appease me after selling you that Shawnee.    :banghead:

Just got a Fatal Styk in today on their test drive offer. My first impressions are very favorable. Very smooth and is the quietest recurve I have ever shot. The grip is fantastic and fits my hand great.

I've only had a Mystical, killed most of my critters with it. Just a hell of a bow, I'm trying to find it here locally so I can get it back somehow. I would like to own one of their recurves someday, too.

You don't see them for sale in the classifieds very often.

Probably the best thumbs up a bowyer could ever get.

Dan I would give it a close run for the money on the comparison.  I don't think you could go wrong with either.
