yes I would definitely say you got shrewed on that deal. I'll be glad to rid you of that awful looking bent stick!

Wow Great looking bow! I received my 56" 48 at 27" SuperShrew brown deluxe at lunch also! I am beyond happy it's not as fancy as yours but she is beautifull,well built and finished to a very high level of workmanship. Most important The Supershrew draws so ultra smooth it surpised me. I have never had a bow that drawed this smooth yet. I can't wait to shoot it this evening work is going to drag by slow all afternoon now.

That is just sooo disgusting!

 :bigsmyl:  

My goodness, but those lams are some of the most incredible grain figure I've ever seen. I thought 1/4 sawn locust was great...but that is insane! I love it!

Be still my heart!

Mammoth Ivory,  I want some of that.  That ivory adds Prehistoric Mojo to a Bow.  

Want some of that,

Post by: Dave2old on July 16, 2008, 06:21:00 PM
Bian - you got it with the mojo of mammoth ivory. As a crazy one "stuck in the Pleistocene," nothing could contain more power and magic -- and one (this one) must hope, good "luck." In a "realistic" sense, the standard Shrew antler tips look better, and cost less since I bought the ivory and sent it to Gregg. But every time I look at it, or feel its barklike texture (I purposely bought exterior rather than pure-white interior tusk), I am transported back to the time of my dreams. "Got my mojo workin', and I hope it works for me" ... and all this silly effusiveness from one who generally don't give a darn for anything that can be bought. It's good medicine! dave

Can't wait to hear the stories that beautiful combo spins during the elk season...beautiful bow, beautiful armguard, knife, arrow...it does things to the heart that only a hunter can know...

Have you shot your Shrew yet? I shot my new SuperShrew this evening and I can't beleive how easy the 56" bow is to shoot. I don't clam to be a expert I have only owned about 5 longbows 58" to 66" bows in the past and none of them shoot anywhere near as nice as my new SuperShrew. I was shooting the Shrew first time out better than another namebrand longbow I have been shooting almost every day for a couple of weeks now. I truely beleive my shooting will be the best it has ever been after a few weeks of shooting/pratice with the SuperShrew. I can't Thank Ron enough now if deer season will just open!

Dave, what length bow did you end up getting?  I think you were looking at 54" and 56".  I have a 58" supershrew and it is the quietest bow I have ever shot.  Are the shorter ones just as silent?

That could be the prettiest limbs I have ever seen LIFE IS TO SHORT TO SHOOT AN UGLY BOW and that is NO ugly bow.

Well, your bow will nearly match the beauty of it's hunting surrounding. And hey, as things bought go you can't be blamed for getting a kick out of a bow. 'Specially one like that'n!   :thumbsup:

Don't believe I've ever seen a nicer combination of limb veneers and limb tip overlays.  You'll be giddy just carrying that piece in the mountains this fall.  You've earned it Dave.  Enjoy.

Life is  good. Thats a nice looker and since its a Shrew I know its a great shooter. I know I love shooting my Classic Hunter. I just wonder if I can wear it out?

The Clan Of The Shrew  
Quote
There's something mystical about this bow

The one they call the SHREW

It seems to have a will of it's own

It knows what it's supposed to do

It melts right into a persons hand

It becomes a part of you

Just look at what you want to hit

and leave the rest up to the SHREW

It's a coveted symbol for serious hunters

Hunters like me and you

You know you've made the top of the list

When you join The Clan Of The SHREW!

I've been blamed for worse, so if you're shooting Shrew because of me, I take it as a compliment.    ;)
