Title: RER from HO Nehe Jeff....WOW!!
Post by: strick9 on April 19, 2007, 07:55:00 PM
After many weeks of back and forth trying to locate a Td recurve for my girlfriend,,she finally settled on a Rivers Edge Recurve TD 42lbs at 28"that Jeff had recently acquired, and with the help of Golden Hawk, A deal was struck, some of you know this bow,sorry no pics,Any how dealing with these two brothers was truly a pleasure..I got the bow set up last night with bow hush and pups, served in the knock and added limb savers and shot it briefly.Today I took it to the range ; Here is the set up 60 inch , 42lbs at 28" shooting Beman Mfx classics 400 , 29.5 bop ( she has a 28 inch draw! ) 3 fletches shield cut, standard inserts and 125 grn field point totalling 456 grns, Not sure of string but I think B-50? I was worried these arrows were a little overspined but they flew straight at point of aim and hit and incredible 170 fps average. I did no bareshafting. This bow is a shooter and consistantly threw 4 inch groups at 20 yrds for me, which I rarely do with my Morrison TD at 70lbs obviously that hurt my feelings a little.I know, drop your poudage...She is gonna have to work up to it a little bit but at ten yrds was able to group around 12 inches before she wore out...She is stoked...Kindest Regards to of all of you guys...

GREAT!! Glad that I could help make this happen for you and Kara. The strings with the bow are D97. This bow is however a 57" 42@28 with actionboo and Carbon limbs. Great shooter and looks evey bit as good. Here is a pic. The bow on the left. (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b376/bruin52/IMG00008.jpg)

Don't take the saw to your Morrison. You might want to try droppin a few pounds though.
