I picked up an RER Arroyo this weekend and am loving it. I am more of a longbow kind of guy but I really like this bow. It's 55# @28" and i'm pulling closer to 29". It's 60" and has no finger pinch or strack. It's really quick and quiet to boot. I played around trying to tune arrows to it and I got some good combinations but it was still grouping to the right of where I was looking. I almost always have this problem with recurves, probably because I am used to longbows that are not cut to center. I know that after shooting a bit my body adjusts and it will hit where I am looking but I wanted to be able to pick up any bow and just shoot it. I build out the strike plate with a piece of brass HIT insert and covered it with velcro... a little playing with arrows and bingo, she hits right where i am looking!
Sorry about the pics, I guess going from a cool house to 90 degrees and humid fogged my camera lens.

Beautiful bow. Congrats. :thumbsup: :clapper:

Good Looking :cool: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Those Arroyo's are real shooters, that's for sure! And I guy must have some pretty good confidence in his shooting to use railroad ties and a BBQ grill as a backstop! :eek:

No, i'm shooting pretty good with it. At 15yds I'm dead on but farther out I'm not as consistant as I'd like. I have to get used to the jump in weight and make sure I fully anchor, but that'll come. I made that fence last week for the herb garden, my GF loves it and it was FREE(more $$ for toys), it's just to keep the dog out.
Thanks everyone, I really like this bow and thanks Mikey for hooking me up. Logan and I want to thank your wife as well for the tea and cake. I'll try and put her to good use this season!
I'm not sure what color it is, but it sure is pretty!
