Bazooka

You are correct. I'm confident the new owners are going to carry the torch.  I'm going to order a bow from them this fall.

Most likely a Vortex II longbow... They'll get good training.

Bocote to me is one of those woods that either looks fantastic, or leaves a little to be desired.  Mostly depending on how it is utilized, the bow design, and of course the color and lines of the wood and grain. This one falls into the stunningly fantastic category! Congrats on a masterpiece. Both wood and design. I've never shot an RER, but have heard only great things about them. Definitely on my try before I die list. How bout a full draw pic? Good luck with her!

Paul, if you ever get as far south as Greenville (about 40 mins N of Grand Rapids) you're welcome to stop by and shoot mine. I have an LXR that has 58" static tip recurve limbs like Mitch's and 62" longbow limbs.I sure don't pan on parting with mine, though.

I received my XR on 5-1-14 it is a 64in 45@30 Bolivian Rosewood with a quilted maple flair riser.The limbs are bamboo core veneers are sapele,it is a beauty to look at and an unbelievable great shooting bow.These bows are everything people say about them smooth and accurate.

There are some procedures listed in the computer forum. You will need a picture hosting site - Snap Fish, Photo Bucket, imgur, etc. I use PhotoBucket.

I upload the picture to Photo Bucket, then put my cursor on the thumbnail picture and a tool wheel appears. Put the cursor on the tool wheel and a menu drops down. Select "get links" and a list of links appear. Click on the bottom link "image" and it will say "copied". Then just paste the link on your Trad Gang post.

If you don't have a photo host site, e-mail me some pics and I'll put them on your Trad Gang post for you. We RER junkies need frequent fixes   :)

Here's some pics of Bigjackfish's new RER. Yep. I'd recognize that bow as one of Kevin's work in a heartbeat. Wish I'd edited that 3rd picture so it would be easier to read.

I'm not sure Kevin would agree to build a bow that didn't look great. Seems like I really like every wood combo I've seen so far. He had a bunch at K'zoo this year and if mine hadn't been waiting for me there, I could have grabbed any one of several off the rack and walked out of the show feeling like I had the winner of a beauty contest.

Yes, she is in fact a beauty!

Ron, I appreciate the offer! If I ever get down that way, I'll be sure to get in touch. The same goes for you. There are a couple great 3D courses around here that we could have some fun with. Thanks again. I think I can see a road trip in my near future.
