Title: Preference 3-pc TD longbow: Crow Creek/RER/Striker
Post by: Scott S. on March 10, 2008, 06:04:00 PM
Anybody had experiene with more than one of these TD longbows?  I know all of these bowyers are top shelf.  I've never heard anything bad about any of these bowyers OR any of these bows.  With that in mind, any preferences?

Crow Creek Crowmag

RER LX

Striker TD

Thanks for any input.
Scott

I would also like to add the Kim Sha 3pc. for your consideration. Mine shoots fast and it is really smooth, zero handshock. Here's a pic.. it's 4 lams of boo for the core with chechen veneers, chechen riser. I haven't shot any on your list but I don't think you could go wrong with any of 'em. You might also want to look at the Fedora's and the morrison Shawnee.

here's my Kim Sha

Scott, I just received my RER "LX" about a month ago.  All I can say is "wow", Kevin sure can build a bow.

Those sure are a couple of nice looking RER LX's.  I've also seen some nice pics of the Crowmag and Striker, though.  I understand all about personal preference, but I'm still looking for more input from people who have shot more than one of the above mentioned models.  Thanks.

Crow Creeks are some of the finest crafted bows made and have very good performance shooting characteristics. One thing you need to keep in mind with Crows though is each set of limbs is riser specific, so if you ever want new ones they need to be bought new and made for your riser.

I had a Crow Creek, but it was not the Mag, it was the Black Feather. It was a beautiful longbow. Great shooting qualities too. I liked the recurve style riser and grip.

I have several crow creek bows....they are all sweet styx! My fav is the crow mag....it is my go-to bow! When I am hunting, I grab my crow mag and Elmerize what ever I am shooting at! I have shot many many different manufacturers bows and the thing about crow creek bows is every bow that Elmer makes is made just for me! kd

My go to bow is the Crow Creek, Blackfeather.

No experience with the others.  

Suggest you call each bowyer, and "try before you buy".
