Misbehaving at K'zoo

[Bladepeek]

I was VERY, VERY bad at the expo yesterday. Went to pick up some Ace blunts, a wool ear warmer from Two Tracks (and show Chuck the knife I got from Lin Rhea) and then just enjoy looking and touching. That looking can get you into serious trouble, though.

RER Vital, 62" 45#. Cocobolo and walnut riser, walnut limb veneers.

Looks Good.

That is a seriously baddddddddddddd looking bow and I mean that in a good way. I don't blame you a bit for being badddddddddd.

God bless you, Steve

Anybody have room for me for a few days when my wife finally sees it?

Spent some time talking to Kevin from RER this afternoon. Had a real hard time leaving without the 46@28 Leopard Wood beauty. That must be why he had a few empty spaces on the bow rack. Congrats, that one is a dandy!

Hi Jason. I saw you trying one out too. Must be you have more will power than I.

Actually it wasn't completely an impulse buy. I sold my right-hand Chad Holm River Runner and my RER-XR, so spent quite a bit of time at both booths. A Holm Made Osprey was REALLY whispering in my ear - light as a feather and really shot well for me. I do have a couple of 1-piece r/d longbows still and really wanted to put a 3-piece back on the rack, so the final nod went to the RER. There will probably be an Osprey at some point in the future, though.

Does the riser of the Vital have more mass than the XR? THAT IS A BEAUT.CONGRATS!

Looks good! My wallet would be empty if I lived closer to Kzoo.

Good thing I don't live close enough to go.  At least you prepared.  It is good to know both your strengths and weaknesses.

I have extra room if you need to stay over, just bring the bow so I can try it out. After all it is my specs....lol! I have to get out to that shin-dig sometime!!

[Bladepeek]

see: The Vital has a lot more mass than the XR. The riser and the limbs are all wider, although the limbs are really trapped.

maineac: still looking for my strengths. Have my weaknesses pretty well identified, though.

Looks amazing

[Burnsie]

Yep, Kevin had some nice ones at the show.

[STICKBENDER98]

Ron, I don't think you're going to go wrong with an RER I really liked how it shot as well as the Osprey that Chad makes, there's just so many bows to try and so little time to shoot them.

[Mike Theis]

I would say that one of your weaknesses is cocobolo and walnut!    

That is a nice looking bow. Congrats
