Those of you who own or have shot a RER,I would like to hear your opinions.Be honest and don't sugar coat it.How do they shoot compared to other bows that you have used?I'm looking for a bow that will last a long time and they are in my price range.Look's like a high quality bow for the money.I value your opinions,thanx.

I owned a RER 3pc takedown but did sell it.  I like buying and selling bows to try them out and have some fun.  

That said, it was a very smooth drawing, well made, good looking bow.  It shot very well...no negatives, really.

An excellent value.

Robert The RER bows are a real performer. I own two T/D recurves,a one piece Arroyo recurve and a Vortex longbow. All of my bows are smooth to draw,quiet and shoot great with either heavy or light arrows. These bows are built for the longhaul and you won't find many with this sort of quality for the money. i'll post pics of mine here later today.

The Arroyo is a a great bow,as are all of them. That was my go to bow for this season. I had to stop shootin my BHs for practice. sheared to many feathers off.

I also am a fan of RER bows, smooth,quiet and fast.Kevin and Sue are a pleasure to work with and I feel their bows are tops, especially for the $$.
I have two t/d's and a Vortex.Other bows come and go but these are definitely staying.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I have the one piece Arroyo and it's my favorite bow.  I'm not enough of an archer to explain why, but I'm just more accurate with it than any bow that I've tried and it's faster than my Bighorn takedown recurve of the same poundage.  It did have a twang to it bare with the fastflight string but it quieted down fine with string silencers and limbsavers.

I have shot my friends vortex.  Very good shooting bows.  If i did'nt like my morrisons so much i would probably own 2 or 3 of them.  you won't go wrong with one of them.

THanx fellas,I emailed them today to try and work out some details.I may go ahead and order one.Golden Hawk, are the grips on your td's medium with narrow throat?Maybe I can get a good idea of what grip to get by looking at your's.

Golden Hawk

Yep thats what they are Robert. You won't find any better folks to deal with. Make sure you ask what they have in stock you might be pleasantly surprised.

What wood is that in the riser of the Arroyo? Really nice looking bow.

I had a RER takedown and liked it better than any other recurve I've ever owned but I swapped it for a 'Vortex' just because I wanted a longbow. Now, the 'Vortex' is my "go too" bow hands down. Smooth, quiet, NO hand shock and pretty darn fast. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of other bows but my RER 'Vortex' longbow is the one that goes huntin'. You'll not go wrong with any bow Kevin makes. Great bows and great people to deal with.

Mike Burch

I really like the looks of the Vortex.

Oh no!  :help:

Golden Hawk

Spike Master the Arroyo has an all Ziccote riser with actionboo stripes and overlays.

Raw Hide I think you need to get a Vortex of your own! LOL!!

I swapped for one awhile back. Thought I'd never stray from my Bighorns but was really suprised with the Rivers Edge. It's quiet, fairly quick, and an overall pleasure to shoot.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

sticshooter

Just wait till ya see the 54"  Arroyo. LeRoy got to shoot it and says it shoots great.best of all it can be drawn to 29" smooth and should go 30" easy.Kevin and Sue are the best people you will ever deal with.<><

I picked up a stock 3pc recurve a couple of weeks ago...........Very nice bow, performs, looks and crafted as well as bows that are 2x the price...as mentioned--Kevin and Sue are a pleasure to deal with and I would definately check to see if there are any in stock bows...

I was going to order one the end of last fall and there was an 11 month wait--probably a little longer now---
