Hey I am just as happy as I can be. I got home from work today and on the front porch there was a bow waiting for me. I couldn't get changed and outside fast enough!!
Thanks Matty for an awesome bow!
It is a Dryad Wind Talker 52#@28" and undoubtabley the quietest bow I have shot. Not as fast as a 'curve but without a doubt every bit as accurate.
This is probably the 6th or 7th round I shot with it then it hit me to take pics....

I think I'll go skulking thru the woods with a few judos and see what I can find to shoot. Thanks for looking!
Barry
That is a nice bow.I like the target,what kind is it? Leon
That is a super pretty bow. I hope ya bloody it real soon.
Jeff
Awesome bow..What kinda target is that??
Very nice bow :0)
Thanks guys. I just killed a bunch of stumps, several old coke cans, the remainder of a glass bottle, several clumps of grass and missed a bird. Man those jokers can jump a string... I'm really digging that bow!!
Wingnut if you're out there...great bow man!!
The target is one slayer1 made. Check him out on the sponsor page. It is one of the best targets I have ever had. I have only shot the front you see in the pics and have shot it at least a thousand times and it isn't even close to wearing out. And I still have the other flat side and all the way around the round side.
It is as pretty as I would expect it to be.
Scott's targets are the best I've ever shot also.I've had mine for close to 2 years and probably have 5000 shots at least thru it and still haven't started on the backside yet.
Beautiful bow too!!A Windtalker has been on my list for quite awhile............someday.......
Wow, that is beautiful!!
Madness,
In a few weeks you'll be shooting groups like this at 20 yards so consistantly it will feel like breathing.

This was with my Windtalker. Only reason I don't shoot it now is I got my Bushwhacker! :knothead:
Love their bows!
Derek
Congrats on the new bow, it is a looker. Alan
Nice looking bow. What are the woods?
Nice! Thats a very pretty bow! What is that handle wood? Barry could you post another pic of that bows unstrung profile? Thanks. David
Sweet bow Barry. Looks like you are coming along with your accuracy too. It always puts a smile on my face to see someone shooting one of my targets to oblivion. lol :bigsmyl: Good luck wearing it out. :thumbsup:
SWEET! Shawn
Hey I'm with Bard1, I love my wind talker it's 49 @ 28 and shoots like a dream. I also have a bushwacker on order and can't wait plus I am in the process of putting the finish on a dryad blank that i have finished into a shooting bow. It was my first effort and I am pretty pleased with the way it came out.
Barry I hope you will be as won over with the Dryad bows as I have been. The whole line is first rate as well as the people that stand behind them.
Bard, nice shooting! I starting to have a problem deciding which bow to shoot. There is a 3D shoot this saturday and I'll need to pick one and practice with it until then.
TJ I don't really know what woods are in the bow. I do know bamboo is one of them. I got this bow second or third hand.
David, If remember when I get home I'll get another pic of it unstrung.
Scott I love that target. Me thinks it will take a long time to wear out.
T-mac you got pics of progress from blank to bow? I saw those blanks on their web site and thought building one would be a lot of fun to build my own. Maybe one day...
Varmit what you waiting for man? The Wind Talker is a worthy bow to have. I am now a firm beliver in skinny little limbs and what they can accomplish!
very nice.
Hey Barry thanks in advance for the unstrung profile pic. Could you take a close up of the handle as well? What is the lenght of the bow? I really like those lines and the color of the osage with the handle wood whatever it is. I don't see the windtalker on their website. Is it still in production?
hey man ...seriously, glad you like it.. I just wasnt shooting it as much as I would have liked. it has an amazing feel, wingnut does do a good job at that.
Matty, any idea what the wood in the handle is?
ttt
Very nice....
David sorry it too so long to get the pics you wanted to see. Here they are...

That is a beautiful bow, thanks for sharing! :thumbsup: nice shoot'n also. :notworthy:
Thanks again for the pics Barry. Man that is a pretty bow. Any idea what the length is?
Believe it is 62" no longer than that.
Wow Barry! Thanks again for the pics and the info. I have one more pic request if you have time. I was wondering if you could get a pic of the last third of the limb and a close up of the limb tips. Maybe the last foot or so of the limb. The limb woods look to be osage and blond action boo with raw boo backing in case you were wondering. Not sure what the handle is but it is really striking. Thanks, David
