Dalaa or Silvertip ....Which to order

[peak98]

I'm having trouble deciding which new bow to order......and no, I can't get them all, LOL.

Bow will be ordered between 50#-55#@28 and  60". The two most important requirements for my new bow are 1. Shootibility ,if I can't shoot it well
          it won't be much use to me
       2. Queitness, I shoot recurves and have
          noticed that some are a good bit
          noisier than others.
I shoot split finger, instinctive..the bow will be for deer hunting, mostly out of a treestand. I took up trad about 2 years ago and have fell in love with the "stick and string", but just now have got the extra $$$ to order a bow for ME.


1. DAS Dalaa- never shot one but only heard good things

2. Silvertip 3 piece curve- the only one that I've had a chance to shoot was smooth, quiet and quick....

I originally posted my top 4 picks , but have narrowed it down to these two, so I deleted the other two bows from this post.
All opinions will be appreciated.

You may want to add a Swan Carbon Curve to your list. 60" very fast and scary quiet when tuned. It's a one piece. Though any on your list would be a good choice.

thanks,
I'll take a close look at the Swan

I'm biased, but my vote is for the Dalaa. I think there may be some Swan limbs available for it before too long.

I'd really like to lay hands on a Toelke though. They are supposed to be very nice.

Ditto the Dalaa. Having a ball with mine, owned
and shot all or most all you mentioned. It is just nice to have a bow that is tunable to style
and consistent to a fault. Its just as fast as the rest to boot. If you want a heavier or lighter set of limbs, they are available with minor modification for $110-$550+ in a couple of weeks at most. Ive got two new sets coming #35 and #56 so Ill now have and adjustment range of #30 to #60 with one bow. You cant do that with the rest. Just some extra thoughts to throw in.

SILVERTIP!!!!!!!!!

[cjones]

Given the bows you listed, I would say SILVERTIP!!

[Bishop]

Another Silvertip vote.

I have 4-5months to go on a new Silvertip because of this thread...never shot one though.
I love my Border too, best I've personally shot.

[OH at work]

I will go with Guru and say Silvertip and never look back

It's nearly impossible beat the DAS Dalaa riser except for another DAS riser with regards to a hunting three piece recurve and with regards to available limbs, saying the skies the limit isn't to far from the truth.

[peak98]

thanks gentlemen, for your honest opinions......

My choices have been narrowed down to 2 bowyers/ bows to order. The dalaa or a silvertip, my question to yuo know "which bow and why ?"

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Hands down Silvertip !! Has proven itself for a lonnng time!

[Marblesonac]

You can get the DAS very quickly from 3Rivers, the Silvertip will take a while.

The Silvertip has a soul (in my opinion only) and metal riser bows are more like tools.

If it were me, I'd get the Silvertip.

[Shawn Leonard]

Silvertip!!!!! Very quiet and great shooters. Shawn

[magills]

SILVERTIP, I've got 5 of them.

[MMilin]

How many of you guys expressing an opinion on this question have shot BOTH bows?  If you haven't, your opinion isn't worth much.

[SilverTip]

let me think about this... ok Silvertip

                           Billy

[larry]

the only possible answer is to order a Silvertip, buy a Dalaa and shoot it while you're waiting for the Tip. And then decide which one is for you and sell the other.

And yes I've shot and owned both

[John57]

I was in the same position as you about 6 months ago,but the choise was Black Swan or DAS Hunter.
I ordered the Hunter,should be here in a couple of weeks,,,,but I'm still going to buy a Black Swan.
Just can't get over how beautifull that bow is.
You have to make your own end decision,so good luck with what ever you buy.
Cheers.
