New RER Vortex
« on: August 03, 2007, 04:39:00 PM »
My new Vortex arrived two days ago. I just had an opportunity to really break her in today. This little bow will SHOOT! I'm sure once we get everything tweaked this will be my hunting bow this season. She's 56"AMO and 50#@28", osage riser with zircote flair and bocote veneers over bamboo limbs. The best looking bow I've had. If you saw Golden Hawks bow here a couple of weeks ago, mine is very similar. In fact I've sent him some pictures and he's gonna try to help me by posting some for all to see. I just want to say thanks to him for helping me with the pics and of course a BIG thanks to Kevin, Sue and family for all they do to make us smile.

Darn near twins. Jedi's riser was originally glued up for my bow but we added for accents to it.

that Medallion is the new RER Bows medallion. All the 2007 on bows will have it.
Shawn you would love that grip on the Vortex. It really locks you into a perfect hand placement everytime.

The Vortex looks like a twin to the Super Shrew and the JK Traditions Kanati longbow...same basic design features right down to the thumb ridge.  For those who have shot these bows, notice much difference between them re overall performance or general 'feel'?

Jeff: "stringwalker" now that's funny stuff. I do love the original trilogy but... all the jedi stuff is just left over from wilder times.

Here is the real story behind my bow:
I asked Kevin about an in-stock Vortex a couple of weeks ago. He was making up a couple and this was one of them. I'm a nut for osage and the contrasting colors so I had to have it. In between my conversations with Kevin I saw LeRoy's bow on here so I told Kevin about it. He let me know that my bow was only made possible because of some changes they had made in the accents on his riser. I was just fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. It is so exactly what I wanted that I couldn't have designed it better myself.
