All I can say is WOW!! As a lot of you know I do my bunny hunt every year and we hold a raffle to benefit the ST. Judes kids. Well Kevin and Sue at RER were kind enough to donate a gift certificate toward a new bow. Guess what? I was lucky enough to win and promptly ordered a new XR their newest T/D design. I added a bit of money and asked Kevin to do something special for me and make me a "Bunny Bow"!! The mailman came today and when I opened the box I was speechless and for guys who know me that is saying something. I am not ashamed to say the sight of this bow brought tears to my eyes. My Mom who the hunt is named after(Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt) would of been proud of this one. It is 58"s long and has a Leopardwood and Purpleheart riser with a swoop and another peice of purpleheart and Leopardwood with an overlay of Waterfall bubinga which matches the limb veneers. I wanted it special, well Kevin also added about 4"s of Leopardwood veneer to the limbs where the limb bolts are. I am gonna have lots of pics. up by this evening so please check back!! I want to again thank Kevin and Sue for their great work and working with me to get the bow of my dreams!!! Shawn

Congratulations Shawn,
I've never met you but I appreciate the advice that you've given me from time to time.  I'm sure this bow has special meaning to you.  Good luck with the bow.  Looking forward to the pictures.

Shawn, you gonna bring it to the Muzzy?

Come on Shawn get some pics up!  Leopardwood and purpleheart has got to be a super combo!!

CONGRATULATIONS Shawn!!!!!!!!!!

It is a very well deserved "special" bow for a very "special man"!!!!!

I'm sure it will get lots of hard use My Friend!!!!!    

Here are some pics guys. They do not do this bow justice, to see it first hand, it truly is breath-taking. Shawn called me this am, and was talking excitedly about a bow and pics and stuff. I had just gotten up and was kinda blurry eyed and stumbling towards the coffee pot, working these hours are tough. Anyway, he showed up about twenty minutes later with this beauty. Absolutely stunning bow. Im sure it will be hunted hard and account for numerous harvests. Congrats Shawn...shoot her straight.

SWEEEEEEEET JAAAAYSUS!!!!  :eek:   great looking bow for one hellva great guy!  

Amazing, kevin has outdone himself.    
Truelly a work of art !!

That is a beauty!!!

Shawn, that is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l.   I've got to make a trip over and put in an order......soon!!!  

Shawn that is a fine fine looking bow. I might have to make a trip out there to see it in person. Hap

All I can say is, "WOW"

Wow,that's beautiful...and Kevins' bows are shooters too.Was glad to see you draw that gift certificate as I know how much you like your other RER and deserve another.You bringing it to Muzzy?

Thanks guys, it is not only stunning, it is a shooter. I strung it up as soon as I opened the box. I went out to shoot and the 150s I shoot off my other RER Arroyo were weak even though they are 1# apart 51#s and 52#s @ 28"s.(I draw 28.5") I had to slow the string down just a tad, so I went in the house and saw Leroys(Goldenhawks) bow hanging there. Sue sent me one of his bows to raffle off for a trust fund for his daughter. I knew it was 58"s, same as mine and it had a string with bowhush wrapped on the ends and 2 big puffy silencers. I thougt that would be the ticket. I put the string on my new bow and went outside, it was incredible, nothing but lazers downrange. This bow is super quick and very quiet. I could not be happier to say the least. MY cameraman(Ishiwannabe) did a great job, but ya really have to see it in person to appreciate it. I will have it at the Muzzy for sure!! Kevin worked some magic on the grip for me as well and customised it to perfection!!  As I said up top my Mom would be proud of us guys and gals!! Shawn

Hap, ya know you are welcome anytime!! If anyone is thinking about one of these bows just call Kevin, he and Sue are the best you find!! Shawn

Nice.Love them lams.

Congrats Shawn! See Ya At Muzzy!
