Rick Welch knows bows, and he knows what it takes to make a bow that passes the test of a champion shooter and hunter.  Through the past decade of building bows and racking up 39 U.S. and World Championships, Rick has dominated the tournament shooting scene.  Shooting bows of his own design, Rick has continued to be the person to beat at all national shooting events. Rick's real passion is hunting. 

World Class bow hunter, Rick Welch, took this 600 pound  Black  Bear from Central Arkansas  with a Dakota Recurve Bow.  A shot where accurate placement of the arrow  was a must, Rick was sure the Dakota Bow would deliver exactly where he selected the shot to go.
