Title: My new Shrew!!!! (about time)
Post by: Over&Under on January 19, 2008, 11:36:00 AM
I have been wanting a Shrew LB for some time now and finally got my hands on one.  This is a new-to-me Shrew Samurai 58" 53@28.


Shoots soooooo sweet!!!!  The grip is very consistant and fits my hand like a glove!  This could be the perfect bow...  :saywhat:

Mark -

There is a 3-d shoot indoor down in town that I was wanting to go to... I havn't decided what I will do yet.

I know I said I would ttry and make it but...

My wait was about 1 week, as I bought it off the classifieds here.  :D

Nice bow, maybe the best grip out there for hybrids.  Melts in your hand.

Does your bow have the standard 6 or 8 strand 450+ Shrew string on it? Maybe the photo just makes it look thicker than normal.  If not then you might want to consider getting or making one...the thinner string makes a BIG difference in feel and performance for Shrews.  A 10-strand D97 will also work pretty well.

Enjoy!

TSP

I put a new FF string from 3 Rivers. I believe it is an 18 strand.  It was lying around and was the correct length, so I put it on, since the string that came on it was in bad need of replacment.  

Where is the best place to get a 450+ string?  Shrew??

Thanks

Jake

Jake,  AWESOME bow.  I have a 60inch Samurai that I love.  Get your strings directly from Ron.  I will bet you will pick up some speed when you switch strings too.  Enjoy your new bow and welcome to the Shrew Crew.

Jake, since no one in their right mind would sell that   "perfect bow" you musta found it, stoled it, or killed somebody to get it...    :biglaugh:

Jake Shrewitis is awfully contagious and usually all it takes is one shot of any Shrew bow to contract.  I have it so bad I'm really thinking about building another bow rack just to hold the Shrew I have and the other Shrews I want.  Good luck with you new Shrew its a beauty!!!
