For those of you who will be attending the Compton Rendezvous on 6-20-22, here are some of the bows we'll have at our booth for you to try. Some are recurves and some longbows. We should have a few more by shoot time. See you there.   :wavey:

You went and did it now Ron. I said as long as you didn't have any recurves I was safe. Can you please sell them all before I get there on Fri.?LOL. I have been looking forward to shooting one of your bows for some time now. See you there!

Oh also I will have my wifes bow with me for you guys to put out for kids and women to try out.  Oh course that is if you want it there or have room for it.  Looks like your table will be pretty full of bows this year.

Come on Ron.  What are you going to do have Gregg put a shelf on the opposite side so you can keep it for yourself?    :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Shrews at Compton
Post by: leatherneck on June 13, 2008, 02:41:00 PM
Tim, I'm eyeing that one up myself. Have to see the poundage.    :bigsmyl:

A 56" Classic Hunter? Not on the website! I just ordered a 54"er ... and now I have to ask Ron to change my order AGAIN! Well that's what you get Ron for making us wait so excruciatingly long! I am old and don't know if I can last it out ... dave2old
Title: Re: Shrews at Compton
Post by: BobW on June 13, 2008, 09:08:00 PM
Dave,

The 56" Classic Hunter is a SWEEEEEEET bow.  Ron and Gregg decided to try something for us "long draw" folk and this one is as smooth as silk to 32+".  Mine is 59#@32", and will be quite the hammer in the woods this fall.

Post by: Dave2old on June 14, 2008, 05:36:00 PM
Thanks, Bob. I've already put in my order change to Ron, assuming Gregg hasn't already started the 54". Frankly I'd take just about any Shrew I could get my hands on to ease this itch. These days, a new bow is about all I get excited about, and as all here know, the long wait is a killer. Dave

Brian,

That's a light gray. It does have a look of green, but its really just thinned black stain on actionboo.

I expect it will be more of a ax than a hammer as you'll probably cut down more trees than deer, but hey, it's not the bow.  :D
