Those are some nice lookin' static tipped recurves right there!

Thanks for sharin'!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Joe,  I will be at Kalamazoo set up with KME Sharpeners...will you have some there?

whip where is the lefty?  not fair at all dude!!  Cant wait to shoot one of those this summer at coon rapids?

cacciatore said, "Nice addiction to the line."

That's so true, an additional addiction 8^).

Did these new Retro's make it to Kalamzaoo?
TTT

No, I didn't have the RER's at Kazoo this year.  
Very cool bows though!

Oh My!!! Very nice.

Kat Maybe that wasn't as much a typo as a prediction. "Food looking bows" would be something cool to hunt with.
God bless,Mudd

Oh man ... just when I think I might maybe dedicate the season to the longbow, Kevin always comes up with a dandy !

Like George says about resemblence to Herters ... I'm a Herters fan too.... I can see that 64 with a little extra palm swell, in rosedwood right now !  

what a sweet retro.... RER bows are awesome

Any one shoot one of these yet?

Now that these have been out for a bit, any owners want to comment on it?????

Who lots of sight window for such short bows.

I'm torn between getting an Arroyo or a new set of recurve limbs for my X riser.

Which of their 1 pieces has the closest feel to an X riser?  Would a 58" seem to stack more than a 64" LX?

The Retro is the one piece version of the XR 3 piece takedown.  The Vortex is the one piece version of the LX.  
I love the smoothness of my 64" LX.  Stacking will be a function of how long your draw is.  The 58" one piece bows should be good out to a 30" draw, but I still think the longer bows are going to feel a bit smoother.

I'm dead on 28".  I want to step up in some weight and shorten the bow some without changing the feel too much.  I'm probably spoiled by my lightweight 64" LX.

Whip,  if the Retro=XR and Vortex=LX,  which one piece is closest to the X riser?  I always thought the X riser was based off the Arroyo.

Have you noticed the Arroyo grip being much bigger than an "X" grip?

Any one shooting the Retro?  RER is a finely crafted bow for sure. And very nice people.

Boom, the X riser is the one that makes up the XR and LX models.  The only difference is in which limbs are attached.  The LXR is one riser with a set of longbow limbs and a set of recurve limbs.
The Arroyo grip is bigger than the grip on the X risers.  Although of course Kevin can build them any way you want them, so if you want an Arroyo with a grip to match an X riser, he could do that.

The 48# has been sold.
