It's been a while since I had the RER. It was definitely loud, to me. Had a very high-pitched sound, like some carbon limbs do. That doesn't mean it is a bad bow; lots of very good bows haven't worked for me, but they were all well-made bows. I've tried a couple of Black Widows because many of my friends shoot them, but they don't work for me at all. I hate the grips on them, for one thing. Clearly, they make a great bow and I would recommend one to others. Same with the RER: it just did not suit me, and didn't do any of the things I had been led to believe a static tip was supposed to do FOR ME, that's all. That's why I am wondering if this style, in anyone's bow, is going to suit me. I typically like and shoot well with any of the bows designed from the original Brackenberry model, like the Wallace and Fox bows. That's why I was considering the Stalker: the grip looks almost the same as my Wallace bows. My first bow was a Wapiti, which has a tremedous hook, but is not static, and I liked it, too. What I am looking to do is go to a shorter hunting bow without the finger pinch; I have not been able to go shorter than 60" and still shoot the bow well. I understand statics allow this. I want to keep a lot of mass in the riser and still shoot a shorter bow. I hate light bows and tiny little risers. I also understand that good statics are quieter, although my experience with the RER did not bear this out. Every Wallace or Fox bow I've had was much quieter, to my ears. I really like the looks of the Stalker bows, but I've never seen one in person, or a Dryad. I like the looks of the ILF Dryad better than the Orion, but could probably live with it if it shoots as well as I've read it does.
