Border Covert Hunter , by far the best , very smooth ,let off at end of draw .fastest static . cost a lot but if you want the best ! I think it is well worth the money .

There is something about statics and getting them set right for you. Have have tried many kwyk styks and cannot get them to feel right. But most love them. Kirk's SS is probably the best I have shot but still tough to set up and eliminate all vibs. I think I will be there soon with that bow. Want to try steppe eagle but have not found right one yet....

All that being said RER's I have shot have been impressive and smooth ...

Chuck is right you could just shoot habu and never look back. But too fun to play with all these other bows!

grayfeather, borders super recurves do work some, I would call it a semi static, would love to shoot a set but I can not justify the price new.

pamike, up brace a little on the SS, mine with the g10 ibeam is dead solid on loose.
shoot straight shoot often

Covert hunter is the best I've owned and shot.

I don't think my limbs would be considered statics but Bob Morrison refers to them as "super curves" and are much like the Border radical recurves. I have a set of Bob's Max 2 limbs, 46# @ 26" which are 54# at 28". There are mounted on my DAS Gen I riser and give me a 58" bow. I have to say, except perhaps for the great Groves I've owned over the years, that these limbs have been the best, smoothest, quietest, most stable limbs I can remember shooting. I am thinking of getting another set, same length, about 5#'s lighter just so I can have a back up if I need it and to have a bow my wife can handle if she needs it and to be able to be comfortable shooting in late season with thick layers on. Limbs have double carbon and synthetic cores.  Easiest bow(s) (my wife has a similar set) I have ever tuned. Bob is working on a better Max 3 series of limbs. I need to give him a call.

To be fair I have never shot RER or Dryad limbs so I cannot compare. Shot a Bordere Covert Hunter at the Muzzy this summer and while it is a very different and high performance bow,  my Morrison Max 2's seemed to fit me better and to my eye and ear were faster and quieter. The Covert was the same weight as my Morrison limbs and I shot my own arrows from both. Not putting down the Covert but when considering the cost, Morrison will get my call first.

I have a Dryad ILF, RER, Morrison ILF, Border HEX 6 ILF and Covert Hunter . The Dryad and RER are true static tip . The RER is a good custom bow , mine is just a bit too heavy for me . The Morrison is one of the best wood ILF riser and the limbs are made by Border and very similar to the HEX6 . The HEX 6 BB2 were the top super curves untell the Covert Hunter HEX7 came out and they are in a class of there own .

May life's simplest things bring you the greatest pleasures!!!
