I have one of the first 17 bows that came to 3 Rivers when they started selling the DAS bows as a Dalaa. Back then it was no secret that they used carbon Winex limbs with a Maple core. Later they started selling cheaper ( I think) limbs and dipping them so you couldn't see the edge layers.
Personally, if I was going that route again, I would buy the Trad Tech Titan with ILF fittings so you don't have to fool with changing limbs and you can use any ILF limbs without changing bushings.
I haven't shot or handled one but that Trad tech Titan 19" riser looked very nice for someone with a longer draw. You would get a 64" bow with long limbs.
I've gone to shooting 25" ILF risers for fun and competition. You can't describe how smooth a 68" recurve is with world class limbs. For hunting, I have a PLX and the Dalaa in 60". I draw 29".
