DAS™ 17" Dalaa Takedown Recurve Reviews

A bit over priced and heavy, BUT more i shoot more I like

Danny
3 years ago

Cons - Rather heavy, (I have 21 in riser) fit and finish could be better at this price point. Likes, - very quiet, accurate, easy to point and shoot. The more I shoot the more I like it. I almost returned this at first but kept with it and now very much like it.

Very nice bow with endless limb possibilities

Jeff

I wanted a takedown bow that I could changes limbs if needed. I learned my lesson with my Buffalo, it's limbs are discontinued. I liked the idea of the limbs solidly mounted when unstrung so I chose the Das mount. There are plenty of ILF hunting grade limbs out there to be had at very reasonable prices. I ordered the 45# bamboo recurve limbs and they shoot great. I ordered read more the copper riser and put brown copperhead limbsations on the backs and it looks really good while breaking up the solid black limbs in the woods. I really like the bow and hunted with it this last season. It was easy to set up and tune, and is very accurate. I only have two complaints: finding a good quiver for it has been costly and the bump on the shelf is too short. I've tried a hex light, a tight spot, a kwickee, an alpine, all leave a lot to be desired. I really wish there dedicated hole drilled and tapped in the riser just for a quiver. The GN Das version is an afterthought. The only quiver I have that works well is a Selway slide on. Works great but I wanted to be able to have a detachable quiver to make transport easier when the bow is broken down. Now the bump on the shelf...it's too short. The cut away section on the outside for clearance is cut too much. I shoot off the shelf, the bump is there to shoot off, but with the strike plate set where it needs to be leaves very little for the arrow to rest on. The arrow will not stay on the shelf hanging in the stand and requires an ugly stick on arrow holder to keep it in position ready to go. I cant the bow when I shoot, so it works shooting. It's the only bow I have that has this issue. That is the biggest issue I have with it. Maybe one day I'll find and arrow combo that will allow me to run the strike plate in enough to get back some shelf, but it should be made to have enough to use if your settings are closer to center. In my mind, the lack of usable shelf defeats the purpose of the adjustable side plate.

This is by far the best bow I have ever had

I have been shooting this bow now for about six months. I had several lower end take down recurves before but had no idea how smooth a bow could be. I'm using the 21 inch riser with 45lb recurve limbs. I have cat whiskers on it and it is ridiculously quiet with 0 hand shock. The thing I love about this bow is that I can adapt it to what ever I want it to be. It is really helping read more me find MY archery, how I like to shoot and what makes the sport enjoyable for me. I can experiment with different limb sizes, grips, shoot off the rest, use a plunger, add stabilizers, just about anything. If I want to go Olympic, I can do that. If I want to hunt or shoot 3d, I can do that too. It seems to be largely unaffected by the weather or anything for that matter.

Awesome

I shoot the 17" riser with 55lb long bow limbs... The bow draws smooth.. no hand shock.. shoots where I'm looking.. I like being able to adjust the rest.. I'm shooting a bare shaft straight at 30 yards....can't wait to hunt with it..

I like te way this bow shoots

I really enjoy the way this bow shoots. Being able to adjust tiller and draw weight is great. I got the carbon foam limbs and they are very smooth. The paint on the limbs have orange peel in them. It looks like someone sprayed them with a rattle can. The limb buts were rubbing the riser. I had to sand them to keep them from rubbing. Other than that I love the bow.

One sweet shooting recurve

Best recurve I have ever shot.

Simply The Best

Got my bow and it was quickly set up and ready to shoot. Took advantage of the multi.Tuning the bow lets you do and have it set up to shoot my arrows fast and straight. Was able to take it and place 2nd in my first tournament with it. I only see myself getting better and better with little tweeks and adjustments. Best Bow on the Market!

I bought this bow after reading the reviews and after seeing David Soza and Rod Jenkins using it on the Barebow DVD's (great DVD's by the way, I've got them all). This is the most accurate, powerful and ease to use and adjust modern bow on the market today. I've picked the 60" version with a 17" lost camo riser and the black foam limbs powering 45lbs on 28" draw. Great value read more for money.

Great Bow

I have been shooting and making bows for over 30 years. I just got a new Das and I love it. I love the ability to adjust the bow and get it the way I like it. I can even adjust the weight some. It is very well made and came all set up and ready to go from 3 Rivers. I wish there were a few more choices for handles though. Great shooter!! Lots of limb choices to work with. I may have read more to get some longbow limbs also.

Hi I have 26.75"draw length and shoot a 66" long longbow at 45 pounds. I want your advice in selecting a new Das recurve set up with length as long as possible but still in the efficiency range for my dl and weight. I was hoping to get at least 62 inches

Dear 3 Rivers, I am interested in a DAS Recurve. I have been shooting traditional archery along with compounds my whole life. I am not sure of what combo to purchase a DAS recurve in. I am 5'7" and 175 pounds with a 27" draw length. I would like a bow

A lot of it comes down to personal preference. However, I would 10 years ago

A lot of it comes down to personal preference. However, I would recommend the foam core medium limbs on a 17" riser. This would give you a 60" bow that I feel would be adequate for your draw length. It would equate to a smooth pull without loosing speed. If you want to discuss further, just give us a call.

Asked by Taylor 4 years ago

Wondering what limb length you would recommend on the 17" riser, 28'" draw length. Seems like there's a lot of back-and-forth 60" vs. 62". Thanks!

I personally like the 62 to inch length. This will give you a lo 4 years ago

I personally like the 62 to inch length. This will give you a longer working limb for more performance and a smoother shooting bow.

Asked by DAVE 4 years ago

Enter in the DAS recurve my draw is 27'' i want to shoot 45 to48 lbs what do you recommend

You will be about 2-3# shy of what the limb is at 28" so I would 4 years ago

You will be about 2-3# shy of what the limb is at 28" so I would go with 50# and you will fall right in that 45-48# range

With 50lbs@ 27in you will be at 48lbs. You can also adjust the p 4 years ago

With 50lbs@ 27in you will be at 48lbs. You can also adjust the poundage up or down 2lbs. So your range will be 46 to 50lbs. With the 45lb limbs you will be at 43lbs with the ability to adjust to 45. So either will work. I would get more opinions though.

What is the maximum draw length for each of your recurve limbs in combination with the DX5 riser?

The best way to pick your limbs is to get twice as long as you d 10 years ago

The best way to pick your limbs is to get twice as long as you draw length at a minimum then you will have the smoothest performance. I always say the longer the bow the better
