Shot a Rivers Edge Arroyo and met a fellow Tradganger.

Made the trip to the Madison Deer & Turkey Expo, what a madhouse! Got to meet Kevin and Sue or RER bows again and saw Mr. Golden Hawk also.
Got to shoot the 54" Rivers Edge Arroyo recurve and am impressed. I own a 60" model, but think I like the 54" even better. I was amazed at how quiet this short bow is, no noise at all even without string silencers. This should make an excellent Turkey blind bow. Had to order one, all Bocote with a thin Cocobolo stripe in the riser.
Now I just have to bribe Kevin to get her finished quickly for me;)

Greg sorry I missed ya had to work. Pete that 54" can be drawn 29" with no hitch. I know I drew one 30" and felt smooth. Great bow. sent ya a PM.<><

I only draw to 27", but cannot see any problems going to 28". Felt great, no noise.
Frank, Sue told me you had to work. Skipped out of the Expo early as it was getting too crowded for my liking. Hope that knife is working out for you?

I got stuck working last year also. I am sure I will meet up with you someday. Knife is working great. Thanks<><

Frank - you guys should try and make it to the MN coon rapids shoot in June ! great course set-up.

I wish I could have made it to madison with Greg, but then I'd have another bow on order too....

sticshooter · April 01, 2007, 05:01:00 PM

Tim kevin and sue always go to that shoot. They been asking me and shell to go for the last 3 years. Maybe this will be the year. Depends on my job.<><

Gordy · April 01, 2007, 05:24:00 PM

I think you guys would enjoy it....and we can all see which bow Greg orders next ! :D

Shawn Leonard · April 01, 2007, 05:42:00 PM

I own a 54" Arroyo and I draw just shy of 29"s and no problem with pinch and it does not stack out to 30"s either. It is gonna be my turkey bow for sure. I have been shooitng it out of my blind and it is very manuevarable as well. It is pretty quiet but it does need silencers to get it where I like. Mine smokes and arrow and for a short bow is not that critical of release. Shawn

Golden Hawk · April 01, 2007, 08:20:00 PM

The54" is a winner for sure! You guys that shoot out of blinds are gonna love them. Can't wait for mine to arrive. Greg ordered a beauty boys.

Bucksnort101 · April 01, 2007, 11:29:00 PM

Yep, you shoudl make the trip in June. They have on-site primitive camping this year so it may be a case where I throw the tent in a stay the weekend, even though I only live about 20 miles from the range.
Gordy - there will be no more bow orders this year. I've heard myself say that before though.

sticshooter · April 02, 2007, 05:41:00 AM

Greg If work allows we will we be there. Kevin been trying to get me to camp. I told him I would only do it if I can have my fan

.LOL. Sue swears I could pitch one of their tents near a power outlet.<><<><
