They are great bows.  Kevin produces some of very finest fit/finish around, I mean no flaws or sanding marks.  I hope the guys taking over RER keep that up.

The XR half of my LXR combo is also 43# (the LX is 46#) and I'm shooting 2117s with 175 up front and it's right on. Shot it 150 yds on our 200 yd rifle range today. I think I could have gotten 175 yds with just a touch more elevation and that's a really heavy arrow. Bet we could trade bows back and forth and never know which one we're shooting   :)

I'm shooting my Vortex and Arroyo [both 43#] with 2016-125 gr and 2117-200r. Both shoot well.

Beautiful XR, Mitch!!!

Man, I miss my XR...and my LX...and my Arroyo!  Sometimes my trying every bow under the sun has really backfired.  My RER's are the only bows I wish I could have back.

A little more to the story:   :readit:  

Last April, I had a chance to visit Kevin and Sue to finalize my order.  Kevin had just finished a 58" Retro for stock, for me to try out.  Well, it was everything Bladespeak, and JohnnyK said it was.  They have both shot this bow.  So, I have another RER Coming, this will be his Retro Recurve, I've been wanting a 50"s style one piece, the bonus is this has the Static Recurve Limbs which I really really like.

Kevin was going to get these both out, but I couldn't finalize my woods choices.

It is going to be Cocobolo/Waterfall Bubinga Veneers and I can't wait.

Pictures sometime next month....   :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

I'm looking forward to those pics too, Mitch.

I have a pretty clear mental picture of how it's going to look. Can't wait to see how close it comes to that   :)
