BW TFIII is one of my hunting bows, grip has a tennis raquet wrap on it. Arroyo has a leather "bow saddle" on grip.

I know the tennis wraps are ugly, but it can be 90 degrees here during bow season and I don't wear gloves when it's hot.

Natuarally I'm partial to the RER's. The Arroyo is an amazing bow that even in the shorter versions handles long draws well. The static recurve tips are fantastic!

But I also must say that the Widow TF is a fine bow too, so you can't go wrong with those choices!

Dang, Robert, What a stack of bows! Bring the RER to Longhammock on Sunday if you will. I am going to make every effort to be there and I'd like to give her a try.

You cant go wrong with an LX!!
Ummm..take down RER longbow...

I really like the looks of the TF's.

I really did not want to get into buying, selling, trading bow after bow. I wanted to get a bow, learn to shoot it and when ready to get another one... buy one that fits the same. All that being said I went with BW. I bought a PSA and love it, the grip I choses was the Asbell. Next year I want a PTFX with exactly the same grip. That can only be done by Black Widow.
Thats my 2 cents and it worth just what you paid.

I have more bows than I should but when I leave the house to hunt, my BW PMA seems to find its way into my hand every time. That being said, I am very anxious to try out an RER at the TBOF state shoot. I hear nothing but good things about those bows and well...even though I own more than I should...I may be able to find room for another.

What model would you be most interested in trying out Gregg? I'm headed to Kevin's next week to drop off the in stock inventory that I have on hand and I can make sure he brings along something that might fit ya'!

There is a pretty good selection right now

gregg dudley · « **Reply #34 on:** February 20, 2009, 09:30:00 PM »

Whip, I am not a serious buyer right now. I am paying for and taking delivery on a new Black Swamp by Michael Treadway at the shoot. My wife knows about that one...

But...since you asked...you might as well have them pack...a take-down recurve or three. Do all their recurve models have the option to come as take-downs? I can't get anyone to say anything bad about the Aroyo and the new LXR looks hot as a $2 pistol.

I have owned both and stuck with the Black Widowsi. I just really like their bows! The RER arroyo that I owned was very quick and the quietest recurve I ever shot. I don't think you will be disappointed with either.

Diamond Paul · « **Reply #36 on:** February 21, 2009, 05:28:00 AM »

I have owned both in takedown recurve models. I didn't keep either one, for various reasons, but they are both good bows and good people. They are very different bows, however, at least in the 3-piece recurve models, and I'd definitely shoot both before you dropped any money on one. The RER has a much straighter riser than the significantly reflexed Widow, and weighs less. I'm picky about grips, and they have somewhat different feels about them when it comes to the grips. I got an Asbell grip on the Widow, and realized that was the wrong choice for me, one reason I don't have it anymore. With a standard grip, if I had to choose, I'd pick the Widow, but that really means nothing; you have to pick the one that suits you. Either one is a good choice. Paul.

Whip · « **Reply #37 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:45:00 AM »

There are three distinctly different recurves. The Arroyo is the one piece, and is a sweet shooting, classic looking bow.

The standard recurve has the straighter riser like Diamond Paul talks about, and the XR is a smaller, sleeker, and lighter riser with more of a handle forward design.

The riser of the XR is the same as that of the LX takedown longbow. Just different limbs, or it can be had as a combo package with a set of each, and then is called the LXR.

I'm sure Kevin and Sue will have a good representation of each along with them in FL!

I have 2 RER bow a T/D and a Arroyo both are great bows. I have owned a Widow some years ago but I think I like the RER bows better.
