New RER Bow Models - CXR & CLX
« on: February 25, 2009, 11:58:00 PM »
Some of the most popular models of RER bows have some new siblings!  The LX 3 piece longbow, and the XR recurve lines has been expanded to include a compact riser version of each.

The new models are the CLX and the CXR, with the C designating the compact riser which is 2" shorter than the originals.  The limbs used on the new bows are the same static tip limbs used on the LX and XR, so the shorter riser simply reduces the overall length of the bows by 2 inches.  

With the new shorter risers it is possible to have a shorter overall bow and still have a full working limb.  I have a 29" draw, and have a 56" CXR here that is one of the smoothest drawing short recurves I have ever had my hands on.

 

 

 

 

Here is the new CXR riser next to an XR.  To shorten the riser the sight window was decreased by one inch, and the area directly below the grip was reduced by one inch.

I'm with Curt, I prefer the short risered bows for hunting in our thick treestands. Good looking stuff.

Are those risers (and limbs) slim (thin)?  In other words, more like a 3 pc Pronghorn or more like a Robertson?

Molson,  I don't have a Pronghorn or a Robertson to compare it to, so not exactly sure.  I did own a Robertson recurve once and as I recall that is quite a bit larger riser than the RER XR or CXR's which are slim and sleek.  The closest thing I can think of to compare them to for size would be a Morrison Shawnee.

bowtough, I plan to be at Compton for sure, and might have to look into doing Cloverdale as well.  If that happens I'll be sure to post it here!

Slim and sleek is good!    :thumbsup:

All the fanciness aside, will any particular limb core provide better performance?
