Title: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Golden Hawk on February 23, 2008, 06:48:00 PM
Got my new RER LXR 3pc longbow/recurve today at the 8th annual D.A.M. Chili Shoot. This is gonna be a hot bow from what I can tell! I shot it all day with the recurve limbs on it and then shot the longbow limbs when I got home. A real shooter let me tell ya. Fast and quiet as can be with no silencers. This one is 60" 50@30 on the recurve limbs and 52@30 on the longbow limbs. Riser is all zircote and the limbs are bamboo cored with tigerwood veneers and zircote overlays. Heres the pics I promised you.

Leroy!!!!!!!!

Yer KILLIN ME!!!!!!!  Dude that is a killer lookin chunk of wood.  How does it compare to the std riser bow??

Got an email from Sue yesterday...They're pulling the woods for my "twins" I have on order.

And the good news is my therapist cleared me to do some shooting.  I shot 10 shots yesterday!!!

Steve I like it better than the standard T/D. Plenty of mass in the riser but not too light. I actually this new limb design is faster than the standard recurve and amazingly ......The longbow limbs shoot right with them!

Tim while she's at it have her pick out the woods for yours! LOL!!

Awsome bow Leroy!!  Good to see you restocking the bow rack!!
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Golden Hawk on February 23, 2008, 07:18:00 PM
Restocking is complete Tim. Two bows and 3 sets of limbs are all I'll have from now on unless I order another set of limbs.

Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Golden Hawk on February 24, 2008, 07:07:00 AM
Chad your bow is far from ugly! Give me a break man!

Chad....

Never mind...I don't want to know!!!!

And the BEST thing about Golden Hawk (aside from being a great guy) is that no matter how pretty his bows are, sooner or later, they show up here in the classifieds!  VERY nice looking bow, LeRoy.

Now thats a fine set,LeRoy. Sure is a tough situation-just two bows. Always good to have a backup anyway. BTW, good looking wood.

Just put a new pic on pg 1 of the strung recurve limbs.
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Otto on February 24, 2008, 04:51:00 PM
Leroy

I like the looks of that with the recurve limbs.

I wonder...If a guy had a set of limbs that were 50# @ 29" on a std riser....what would they be on the new LX riser.  I might have to pop that question to Kevin.
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: jesse cales on February 24, 2008, 05:11:00 PM
that recurve looks like e real rocket launcher,leroy.
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Golden Hawk on February 24, 2008, 05:19:00 PM
Steve the limbs from a standard riser won't fit this riser It's alot narrower.
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Randy Morin on February 24, 2008, 05:19:00 PM
You bet I like the looks of that baby.  It looks alot like the bow I build. Of course the finish looks a little higher end than mine but it'll come.    :D     Love the 3 piece recurve grip with D/R longbow limbs. It's my favorite design in general. He's got the whole Shawnee thing going on too with recurve limbs ta boot. Wow. Them folks at RE are doin a heckava nice job. Probably less expensive than what I can buy materials for too I bet.        :banghead:        :goldtooth:  

Congrats on a great bow!! Have fun. Randy.

Leroy, very nice. I just ordered a new T/D recurve. 60" 53#s at 28"s and Leopardwood and Purpleheart riser with boo cores and curly bubinga veneers. Hope it is as pretty as yours! Shawn
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Golden Hawk on February 24, 2008, 09:37:00 PM
Sure it will be Shawn. Kevin and I were talkin about your bow Saturday at the shoot. Gonna look nice Bro!

Man I'm really starting to like those RER's....super sharp bow Leroy!
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Big Sneaky on February 25, 2008, 04:16:00 PM
Just wondering how you like the grip.  Does it require a high wrist or can you shoot it with the heel of your hand down?  Those 3-piece longbows really get me going!  Beautiful bow!
Title: Re: New RER LXR New Pics pg 1
Post by: Golden Hawk on February 25, 2008, 04:37:00 PM
Love it! I'd call it more of a low wrist style grip but you could probably shoot it heel down also.

That's a beauty, man. Love those longbow limbs.

That is awesome LeRoy! I'm on the list for one of those beauties myself.  You're pictures sure aren't making the wait any easier!

LeRoy,

I just noticed this thread - nice bow man.  I know you say it won't happen BUT put me on the list for first dibs when you sell in the next year or so.  You may need to draw some Ontario bear blood with it first though.
