    For you folks who buy your bows without actually holding It 1st before you buy It, how do you do It? I for the life of me just can't go through with It!! There are 2 different take down recurves that have my attention big time but I just can't follow thru with the deal and get them. These bows are made a long ways away, there's no way possible for me to go and check them out 1st. Frustrating!!:mad1:

    Just buy it, if you don't like it, sell it or trade it for another! Thats the fun of it! I've got pretty lucky with the 4 bows I've purchased this past year, they all are shooters!

    These are anywhere from 600.00 to 800.00 dollar bows. To much for me to gamble on I guess. I sure wish I could take your advise, you have no Idea how bad I want to!!!:bash:

    I'm telling ya that palm swell on the RER is the ****! Call Joe(whip) from tradgang, he is a great guy! I'll be seeing him on Saturday for a rabbit hunt. I'm not sure but RER might have a shoot before you buy type deal! Give em' your CC number and they send you the bow to try out! You like it you keep it or order one. You don't like it send it back and the only thing your out is the shipping! I could be mistaken on the RER, but I know of a lot of Bowyers that do this!

    If you think about it, its makes sense for them to do that! Look what Russ did with the Yarra! If he wouldn't of sent this bow around I never would of realized how awesome this bow actually is!:cool: :cool:
