DRYAD BushWacker

The BushWacker is a one-piece longbow design conceived as an entrant into the Bowyer's Journal Ambush bow contest.  After going through the development and prototyping we were so pleased with the little bow that both of our bowyers built themselves BushWacker bows to hunt with last fall.  The BushWacker features the "I" beam design like the Soothsayer with multiple laminations in the handle to add strength and stiffness.  It also features the same contoured grip creating a balance of accuracy and comfort that allows the bow to point where you look.
