Your Experiences with DAS Recurves

I've had several recurves, over the years. One piece, take-down and ILF.
I shot a DAS recurve bow at 3 Rivers Archery, about 3 years ago. I was amazed at how smooth shooting, accurate, quiet and a smooth draw cycle that was in the design of this recurve bow. This was the first time I'd laid hands on one and I was hitting a 2" target dot 4 out of 5 times at 17ish yards. :cool:
I may end up purchasing one of these bows, soon.

What are your experiences with DAS recurve bows?
 
They are nice bows. I killed one of my best bucks with 17” Daala riser back about 10 years ago. Super dead in the hand and the DAs connection system is more adjustable than ILF.

Never used DAS. I've used ILF and whatever it is that Hoyt does. ILF seemed like there were too many moving parts. Popping the bushings and going the Hoyt route seems to be quieter.
 
I don't want to limit my options, when I go to make a purchase. So, I'll be looking at all the systems. Hoyt, ILF, DAS and any others that appeal to the flexibility of limb changes. :)
I definitely want to purchase 2 sets of limbs. One lighter poundage for 3D and general practice, like a 30# - 35#. and a hunting set in 45#.
 
My DAS is one of the originals David Sousa built (2005), and I have had great shooting experiences with it.
His philosophy was to build a riser that eliminated all the previous problems associated with aluminum risers.
He originally used FORTAL material (similar to 7075 alum.) because of its structural stiffness.
The design parameters were developed based on his experience and inputs from Olympic and world class shooters.
If you are interested in the history of the bow Tradtalk.com, Tradgang.com and Stickbow.com have alot of info about the DAS riser and David Sousa.
I believe you will be very pleased with a DAS riser and the correct limbs as I have been for 17 years.
