David contributed much more than groundbreaking das riser designs. He also made a lot of other cool stuff. I would like to start this thread as a tribute to his lesser known and unique archery products.
Here is my first contribution: Hoyt gamemaster ilf conversion buttons with fibre reinforced rubber silencing limb pads. Blew my mind when I randomly got these! Wish I had a gamemaster.

For those looking to replace their pads the 3m 300 sle seems to be a type of double sided sticky tap applied to fibre reinforced 1/8" rubber...i kindof like it better than the dad rubber pads

Thats pretty cool.

But really the gamemaster(well my experience is with a gamemaster 2 but I think its the same) has rather shallow angles for ILF limbs and I probably wouldnt bother now.

David is a great one! I have some stories about the start of DAS, maybe someday.

Shorty plungers galore. And SRF sight. Anyone else still use them?

The bow bag is another well thought out and executed product that came from David's workshop.

pretty impressive RARE old bow you show there NIKKO. Nice to see it getting used. Yeh I like the SRF sights too, and the shorty DAS plungers.
I have a question, do you & others have a secret with the front-mounted SRF sight, how to keep it from moving in the slot, or getting twisted to not straight/vertical?
HARD for me to crank it down tight enough to "stay put". It's a mental thing, I tend to over-do things, so I don't put the meats to it so as not to damage it.
I like the brackets David made for the TRIBUTE risers that mount SRF sight on belly side, kind of cool. RUSTY CRAINE used to roll his own brackets for belly side SRF sight.
