That's correct, Whip, which is why I said it didn't work FOR ME. After talking to Dryad, I feel that I might have had too long a bow, and wasn't getting into the limb enough at my draw. Clearly, RER makes good bows, but I've shot lots of bows that other people swear by which I hated. That proves nothing about whether you or someone else will like those bows. Black Widow clearly makes one of the better recurves out there, but they don't work well for me, and I've tried really hard to like them, because everything about them screams quality, and many of my friends shoot them. I also love the way they look, and the mass weight of them, but something about the grip doesn't fit me. I've tried both the standard and Asbell grips on them, but still never shot them well. They are great bows, though. Same with RER; no complaints on the quality of the bow, it just didn't do anything for me, or at least not what I expected it to do, but that's possibly because I never got it drawn far enough to realize the benefits of the static limb design. I've decided, after talking to Mike at Dryad, to try one of his bows. He had a riser and set of medium ACS recurve limbs on hand that I liked very much, and I've ordered them. He was very helpful and his rep speaks for itself. Liking a bow is very much a personal thing; I hate longbows, but that doesn't mean that longbows are bad, it just means that I don't favor them. I've owned and sold a bunch of different brands of bows, and with one exception never thought the bow itself was bad. I just kept the ones that I shot well, and parted with the ones I didn't shoot well.
