Those pics made me blush like I was looking at a..... well never mind.But seriously the pic with all of them lined up vertically would be suitable for framing and would make a sweet calendar.You could call it "The Babes of Ron", or "Bows Gone Wild".True works of art.

Java Man,

I had spoken a little with Ron some time back at a chance crossing, relating to a Shrew and my "long draw" but even Ron wasn't sure - said he had to look into it further.  Can a Shrew be made to handle a 32" draw (and be in the 55-60# range)? I would like to get into something a little more "compact" for tree stand hunting than the 68" i use now.

Thanks if you can help.

I gotta beat Tim there on Friday...so I don't have to shoot a Shrew covered in drool and fight to get them all out of his hands.

Greg,

 You should live where I do. Ya hear OSU stuff all year long. Guess that is somewhat expected being only 50 miles from campus. It does get old though.

 Still find it hard to root for them. At least Les has ties to U of M, so I think LSU will get my support tonight.

Hail to the Victors!

Gregg,
What kind of wood is the left handed Shrew made of?
Title: Re: Shrews for Kalamazoo-Sneak Peek
Post by: Java Man on January 07, 2008, 07:12:00 PM
David,

Winewood "Pakkawood" riser (like Dymondwood), curly etimoe veneers, bubinga overlays.
