Found my Holy Grail bow!!!!
« on: April 02, 2012, 05:57:00 PM »
Got my new used 62" RER Arroyo 43#@28" today from Kevin. Tiger Ebony riser and limbs. This bow shoots incredible. Super smooth, great grip, very fast and quiet. The TerMaats are a joy to buy from. If there is a better recurve out there i haven't found it. Got to go shoot it some more.

Congrats on the grail, shoot it well

It was a trade in bow. Kevin reworked the grip and refinished the whole bow. Looks like new. Don't know how to post pics, Sorry

I also just picked up an RER Arroyo today, from member "Long Bow".  This one is also Tiger Ebony, 58" 51@28.  As I only got it today, I don't know if I can call it my grail bow...YET...but what a great bow that fits me like a glove and SMOKES an arrow!

I've never shot their recurves, but I do own 2 of their LX longbows, which is the 3 piece takedown model. Yes, super people and great bows! You made a very good choice.
