Yea I've been lookin for a good awhile tryin to find another nice recurve and I found this one on Craigslist and I even offered to pay the guy more since he was given me so much but he wouldn't takin it said he just wanted to see it go to someone that would treat it right and shoot it and he didn't care about the money
I assured him it would be shot and treated great

Dick makes great bows. That is quite the bargain. Unbelievable price.
Bowhunting must have been smiling on you that day.

Agreed. Dick is a first class guy, and has done TONS for traditional bowhunting. You will not find a better man. Oh, and I'll give you 80 bucks for the bow if it doesn't work out

Well I paid $300 for my Robertson longbow and got to pick my own wood; shedua and locust. Of course, that was around 1980 or so..
;-). I would love to find a deal like that.

Sounds like a beautiful bow. I've had 3 custom longbows all were timberhawks though and sold because they didnt feel good to me.I've been lookin at the Robertson longbows since I got the recurve though if there anywhere as nice and good shooting as the recurves they make I'd love to have one

Robertson's bamboo limbed long bow is a shooter.
No idea what the wait time is his bows now.

Good deal. I know you'll enjoy it. Since I got my long bow, I have alot more time to shoot and alot less time tuning and buying the "latest and greatest' must have item.

I enjoy shooting traditional bows much more than compounds. Bryan I only have my Matthews because I got a hell of a deal on a trade for it

No idea what the wait time is his bows now. Not as long as it was before the economy tanked. While you've got him on the phone ask him about his Boo Brothers 3 Wt flyrod he just traded into.
