Here are some pics of my new RER LXR. Kevin brought it with him to the show and I would have really been sick if I could not have made it down there.
The bow has some incredibly contrasty figured cocobolo and waterfall ash in it that match perfectly on both the 62" longbow limbs and the static tip 58" recurve limbs.
This post might interest Gator1. Mitch, eat your heart out :D
The tips have some translucent phenolic (if there is such a thing) with cocobolo overlay. Looks almost like the inner layers of sheep horn, but I don't think it is. I'll have to check with Kevin on that. Mitch, if you want to see the rest of the pics, here's the link:

Ron, simply beautiful...
Can't wait for a shooting review....
NICE.................
Holy Cow........my first RER had Waterfall Ash....and I really liked it. That is a nice set up!!! Love the Static tip limbs. :thumbsup: :clapper:
Nice bow!!
I loved the LH 64" LX they had there.
Congratulations!
I told Kevin that I was really thrilled with my new bow. The woods worked together the way I was hoping they would. But, I also told him I could have walked away with any of the bows he had there and been happy with it. The man definitely has the touch!
Very Very nice Really like that it shoots off the correct side also. :thumbsup:
Very Nice :thumbsup:
Very nice !!!!!
what a beauty congrats
Wow, that is a LOOKER!!! Congrats! Kevin is great guy to deal with as well.
That is a looker...really nice use of woods. :thumbsup:
-Mark
Very Nice! :thumbsup:
Sweet looking bow Ron enjoy it.
Very nice. Congrats.
I'm sure I will enjoy it Chad, and I have the right-hand Legend you built for me. I try to shoot from both sides each session and they should enjoy the same arrows.
Beautiful bow... :thumbsup:
Very nice
Real nice. :thumbsup:
Kevin is making some awesome look on bows!
Ya that Kevin has a way with bows...he just gets it:)
Congrats on your new bow...those longbow limbs are impressive:)
Holy Cats! That is a beautiful bow
That is pretty nice, except the shelf is cut on the wrong side! :scared: :scared:
Congrats on your new stick!
Bisch
Yeah, but I ordered it that way just so you right-handers would have something to knock about it.
Otherwise it would be pretty hard to fault :)
A beauty for sure!
Pictures don't do it justice Ron. Thank you for unwrapping it so I can see.
yep. that's nice. jealous for sure.
WOW!!!! That looks like it could be a workhorse bow and a vanity bow all at the same time:) Beautiful!
Such a beauty!!
Darned Ron, that just looks fantastic! Seems to me that is all ya need....
I read somewhere you make knives as hobby...any links?!? :) I used to be a knife collector, but these days all my money seems to disappear in the black hole that we call traditional archery...... :) And yes, money talks, it always says "Goodbye!" to me....
As for the tips, I have the same translucent ones with wood overlay on my RER Vital. I checked with Kevin and it seems that he does it always like that. It are multiple glass laminations glued together if I remember correctly and are nuke - proof.....
I can imagine the static tip design is more demanding on the tips, so my guess is Kevin designed heavy- duty tips to address that..
:eek: :scared: :eek: Beautiful Bow! Kevin is a master craftsman! Good Luck and Good Hunting! :archer:
Thanks Ad, for the compliment and the info.
Of course it's all I need. I only plan on selling 3 of my other bows, though. Never hurts to have a few spares :)
bentpole, I sure hope my luck is better this year. I never got a shot last year. It would be a shame not to be able to blood that bow.
I understand the spare plan. .... I have two spares. Thinking about buying some spares for the spares though.... Would that make me a sinner??? :dunno:
whoo! been waiting on these pics! gotta scroll back up and drool, haha!
EDIT: wow, wow, wow! even though it is a bit light weight, i predict the dogfight of all time in the classifieds, should you ever decide to part with it!
perhaps a St. Jude's dogfight (which i would undoubtedly lose to somebody rich, hahaha!)
AWESOMEEEE looking bow :thumbsup:
Thanks to Ron and his outstanding choice... He's got me second guessing my combo.. :knothead:
Or should I say "Combos".... LOL
A real stunner! You've probably had a continuous smile since you first picked it up!
That's cool!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Art work.
You will love the way it shoots. Kevin made me one that I'm still ravening about. Congrats on your bow
