Two things...I've been reducing weight in a lot of bows recently and gong thru my bow pile, I just found a treasure I totally forgot about...Super Shrew Scout Lil' Favorite 54" 45#@28 by Gregg Coffee brand new/never shot. I remember I broke one of these bows...well actually it was on the trunk of my car and I accidently ran over it backing up :knothead: Anyway back to the future, It is now too heavy for me as I need 40# maximum. So it looks like it will be slated for my knife grinder if I don't sell it...tippit

I have to LOL on this !!! You have so many bows you stumbled upon one your forgot about and never shot :biglaugh:
Pretty hybrid longbow! :archer2:
-
I am glad to know I'm not the only one who occasionally find bows they had forgotten about......this gives me hope!
-
It's an honest mistake as you get older sometimes you aaa yes forget. Hope I remember I once shot stick bows.
-
Ya know Jeff, it sounds like you have too many bows.
I tell you what, you send that bow to me and I'll dispose of it safely and properly. :laughing: :bigsmyl:

Pine,
I appreciate your concern for me. Let me mull that offer over a bit :)
-
"My Bow Pile".... what a beautiful sounding phrase!
-
And I thought there was a mess in my garage I only misplace broad heads and bow strings.
:campfire:
-
Ive done the same with trail cameras. Its like Christmas all over again. Great find. Beautiful bow. Guess u could just shorten ur draw a bit:)
-
No it would be very easy to take 5-10 pounds off...probably what will happen once the shock of finding it wears off.
-
I would seek professionals to reduce the draw weight.
-
I think Tippit is quite capable/knowable and a professional to do the job. He's been doing it for a while now and they are his bows. Good luck and keep us posted.

Jeff IS a professional at this with all he has done, and done successfully... he just doesn't get paid! :saywhat:
If you can find it, there is an old thread here someplace about the method and painstaking effort he puts into reducing weight on his bows. I was really impressed with his results and craftsmanship.

I would love to see this thread about how Jeff does it, any help here would be appreciated?

When I first read the line about it being destined for your knife grinder if you don't sell it, I very nearly had a heart attack, as I interpreted that to mean you would be chopping her up for knife scales. I though quarantine had turned ya right mad, haha.
Nice find Tippit, don't grind away too much, eh.

Oh thats a dandy little bow!
-
Thats a sweetheart of a rig. Reminds me of a metal handled black widow HS I bought on eBay for a carp rig. Had two sets of limbs and the guy swore he found it in his safe. Claimed it was never shot cuz he forgot about it. I figured "yeah right", when it arrived it was perfect. Way to nice to beat the hell out of it as a carp rig. Sounds like it could have come form your bow pile. :biglaugh:

Jeff,
...or, you can send it to me. I won't dispose of it at all....nor will I run over it, lol. I didn't know Ron's warranty covered acts of terrorism. Looks just like a 60" osage Super Shrew I once had.
