Kat Maybe that wasn't as much a typo as a prediction. "Food looking bows" would be something cool to hunt with.

I'm torn between getting an Arroyo or a new set of recurve limbs for my X riser.

Which of their 1 pieces has the closest feel to an X riser?  Would a 58" seem to stack more than a 64" LX?

The Retro is the one piece version of the XR 3 piece takedown.  The Vortex is the one piece version of the LX.  
I love the smoothness of my 64" LX.  Stacking will be a function of how long your draw is.  The 58" one piece bows should be good out to a 30" draw, but I still think the longer bows are going to feel a bit smoother.

I'm dead on 28".  I want to step up in some weight and shorten the bow some without changing the feel too much.  I'm probably spoiled by my lightweight 64" LX.

Whip,  if the Retro=XR and Vortex=LX,  which one piece is closest to the X riser?  I always thought the X riser was based off the Arroyo.

Have you noticed the Arroyo grip being much bigger than an "X" grip?

Boom, the X riser is the one that makes up the XR and LX models.  The only difference is in which limbs are attached.  The LXR is one riser with a set of longbow limbs and a set of recurve limbs.
The Arroyo grip is bigger than the grip on the X risers.  Although of course Kevin can build them any way you want them, so if you want an Arroyo with a grip to match an X riser, he could do that.
