Title: Any New Arroyo owners out there?
Post by: Keefer on June 19, 2013, 07:04:00 AM
I think I know someone named "Mitch" who just got a new one on Fathers day and all I can say is "WOW" it's a very very pretty one...I hope he will see this post and add pics if he hasn't done so already...Mitch forgive me for dragging you into the spotlight but I think the Gang needs to see the woods in this one...All I can say is mouths will water cause his riser is one of my favorite woods...  ;)

Alright,

Keefer here you go: Funny story. I had a bow on order changed from one piece to take down, back to one piece.

Had to choose woods pretty quickly, since my Takedown was Zircote/Black Limba, I got some great advice from Mike B.

Yellow Dog "Get another Zircote/Black Limba", it looks good....

Sooooo, I call this bow "Wife Camo"     :laughing:     . Identical to my takedown easy to change out.. Thus the Camo... LOL...

I saw the earlier pics before you got it, but sure don't mind looking at it again. Beautiful wood combinatiion! 'Course the shelf is on the wrong side, but, all in all, I like it!

Next February I'll have my XR combo - longbow and static tip recurve. Not that I'm anxious or anything   :)

Mitch,
I think the Camera was a little "intoxicated" when the shutter closed in that first pic.   :biglaugh:  
Man I love that Ziricote when it's that chocolate with those dark swirls....
Mitch she's a beuty and congratulations once more...

Mitch,
Did you get the satin or flat finish on it?
I for some reason keep coming back an eyeballing this one and sad thing is I have a 2012 all bocote one hanging in my shop  :archer:

Very nice Mitch  :thumbsup: , love the wood combos. Have been thinking about a 62" "Arroyo" myself, and yours is very tempting!
What is the wait time for one of these, it's not listed on their site. Was going to send of an email to find out, but the temptation might be too great once I make contact. (I know what I'm like)
What is the length of the sight window? Thanks
Cheers Dan

Great looking bow Mitch!

I shot one of the Arroyos at Cloverdale.   Man, oh, man....it was a screamer!

Great bow you got Kevin to make you and I know you're gonna love it. Arroyos shoot fantastic. I know too the wait is now over so get to shooting and get your biggest bu I this fall. Congrats to you Mitch.

Thanks guys I'm really liking this bow


I have a 60 inch XR takedown this grip is a little beefier and am growing fond of it

Kevin does a great job on all his bows/wood combos I'm gonna make this my hunting rig this fall
