I was wonderin ifin anyone has had any experience with Gary Davis, Rattlestick Bows? I been interested in callin em and orderin a stave from em. Bein a poor boy, wanted to hear from some a y'all before I plot down the few dollars I do have. I know they have been around fer quite a while, as I see their avertisements in some of the older magazines that I have. That in and of itself, leads me to think they must have a pretty good product. Would like to see some pics of a finsihed bow ifn any y'all have tried em. Anyone tried em?

I have never bought one from Gary. I can tell you Gary is the straightest shooter around and will give the best osage bow blank money can buy. Most are just short of being shootable when you get them.

I've never bought a bow blank from him, but I have talked to him at 2 different events. You won't find a nicer guy. I have never heard anyone say a bad word about him. He gave me advice and some helpfull tips on bow building. He has a DVD for sale also. I whish I had it when I started building bows. Best of luck to you.

You can't go wrong with Gary. Super nice guy and great to deal with. I bought a blank from him and couldn't be more pleased. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

I hardly ever post here so my name is not well known, but I have been scraping on wood and ruining good staves for a pretty good while now, for what thats worth. Every once in a while one of them will shoot an arrow for a ways.

That said, I have bought 4 staves/blanks from Gary Davis and they were TOP quality. Have never met him, though we have talked numerous times on the phone. My opinion is he is a No1 stand-up fellow with a wealth of knowledge and great to do business with!

I've known Gary for many years, and his staves are top quality and he stands behind them. Can't go wrong dealing with Gary!

Gary is a close personal friend of mine. I've worked with Gary for years. I can say, he is meticulous when it comes to any product he sells, especially bow blanks. You are sure to get a quality shipment. Are you from Michigan? He will be at the Primitive Rendezvous in Marshall, this weekend. I believe he'll be bringing some blanks with him.
