RER Arroyo Riser---Redesigned by tippit
« on: May 24, 2009, 05:32:00 PM »
First of all I need to thank & apologize to RER.  I picked up a used RER Arroyo that shoots as well as any bow I have shot.  Plus being a recurve...I usually Do Not Shoot Recurves!

My only problem with it was the grip.  Again being a longbow shooter I like a straight to low wrist grip.  Also being a knifemaker, I have no problem hogging off metal or wood with a 2X72 belt grinder...doesn't take long to shape wood with a 36 grit belt  ;)    And knifemakers can be a little weird at times cause we like to destroy a finished blade just to see how the steel looks on the inside  :eek:  

With that all said and done, my Arroyo with a new straight grip and palm swell.  While I was at it, I decides to round out the back of the riser shelf too.  It still shoots great but now it fits me like a glove.  Since it was used there was no warranty so I   :pray:  it stays together...Doc

Nice job doc!

Tippit got talent with that grinder. He restored a buffalo horn bow tip for me-twice! Can't tell it from the original!

Of course Jeff, you know you could have just custom ordered one with that grip, but what fun would that be!   :p   I know you love nothing better than to put your own mark on a bow.  :thumbsup:  
Nice work, as usual.   :clapper:

Well done.. I have a Mikuta long bow I did the same thing to and I got rid of the thumb rest. Now it fits me. Its fun to fool around and try some new stuff. Great Job !!!

Looks very good to me.I have a bighorn ramhunter that I bought in a moment of weakness that has a grip that feels more like a 2 x 4 you have just inspired me.  :thumbsup:
