If it were me,I would set up a time with RER that I could try ALL their stock bows.I have found that the same model from some bowyers will vary between individual bows.I haven't tried the RER though.

You might try the Robertson before you make the trip.You would have something to compair the RER to.I think Robertson will ship you any in stock bow for a test.You could also do the Widdow test drive first.I know all the shipping would be a little costly but not as expensive as buying new bows and selling them used.

The best and most fun would be to go to some shoots and try bows.

I've called RER for a demo bow and didn't hear back...

Mike RER no longer sends demo bows out. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch.<><

Having owned a Morrison and a Blacktail, I would go with the Morrison. It is definately the better performer and quieter, at least on the ones I had.  The Blacktail was nice looking, but Bob can do some amazing things with wood and snakeskins, although the one I had was plainer. I have never shot a RER, but heard great things about them.

I've checked out the shoots RER plans to attend in 2007 and the closest one is in their hometown and is a three and a half hour drive each way.  I'll check with them to see how I might try one of their bows out.  I'll be checking with Robertson and Morrison too since it looks like those are both great bows too.  I've shot a Blacktail and I think I can get ahold of a Wes Wallace so the three that may be tough to try are the first three.

I've had a Blacktail and Morrison.  Hard to pick between the 2.  The beauty of a Blacktail is hard to beat.  I have too many bows coming or I would order a new one.  I just keep my eye out for them on the classifieds and hope I'll find one sooner or later.

Of the 3 I prefer Morrison. If I was that close to RER, I wouldn't hesitate to drive on over. They are good bows.
If it's in your way, move it.
