The Dryad Orion
The All-Around Hunting Bow
Designed as an all-around hunting bow the Orion is a 3 piece bolt-down riser and is great for tree stands and ground blinds. The Orion is a fast, smooth, easy to shoot bow offered with longbow, static recurve, ACS longbow and ACS static recurve limbs (don’t know which you would like better buy a set of each for the same riser). If you want additional limbs in the future, we can build them without needing your riser back in the shop.
ORION RISER
The design of the Orion allows the user a wider variety of limb and riser options. All of the limbs will perform equally well on any of the Orion risers.
The Orion riser is offered in 13, 15, 17, or 19 inch versions (13″ & 19″ currently being redesigned, available soon) with the choice of low, medium, or high wrist.

ORION LONGBOW AND RECURVE LIMBS
Offered in Medium, Long and XL combined with 13″, 15″, 17″ or 19” risers the Orion can be configured from 56″ to 66”. All of the Orion limbs are constructed with bamboo core material.
The ACS recurve limb is offered in both the bolt-down Orion risers and Epic ILF risers. It combines proprietary carbon with a bamboo core, producing a smooth, stable, and extremely fast limb. Limbs tested at 206 feet per second, 9 gpp @ 28 inches AMO.
Longbow limb options:
Orion longbow limbs are a reflex/deflex profile made from black glass and carbon with bamboo core.
Orion ACS LB limbs are a patented design, pressing the limb laminations into a mold that is convex in cross section. The limbs are reflex/deflex in profile and are made from black glass and carbon.
Orion ACS LBX is constructed from 4 layers of carbon; a cross woven carbon on the back and belly of the limbs with an additional layer of carbon under each side. They are also constructed using the patented ACS design.
Recurve limb options:
Orion RC recurve limbs are a static recurve limb made from black glass and carbon.
Orion ACS RC recurve limbs are a static recurve limb using the patented ACS design and are also made from black glass and carbon.
Orion ACS RCX is a static recurve limb constructed from 4 layers of carbon; a cross woven carbon on the back and belly of the limbs with an additional layer of carbon under it. They are also constructed using the ACS design.
Orion ACS RCTX utilizes the same construction materials and patented limb molds, but is designed specifically for use on risers 19” and longer. The limbs were designed for the serious target archer with superior torsional stability and great forgiveness at the back of the draw, making the limbs incredibly fast and accurate.
