Two weeks ago, I placed an order with Ron LaClair for a Shadow Grey Super Shrew Deluxe 60" 51# @ 28", and today after talking with Arvid, I ordered a Black Swan Grey Diamondwood 1pc longbow 66" 57# @ 28".
These are my first traditional bows, not counting one of those red kiddie bows, that I had when I was 10 years old.
I have two Elite Archery compounds, an Envy and a E-500, which I throughly enjoy, but I also wanted a pair of nice traditional bows too.
I have sent a few posts, and PM's...just want to introduce myself. I really enjoy what I see here on Trad Gang.
Any ideas on arrow brands or setups for these, would be appreciated...

Wow, nice start for sure!
#1 Welcome
#2 throw out the compound Bows!
#3 get yourself some Gold tip 5575's dont cut them put in 100gr brass inserts shoot 125's it should work well with both bows.
#4 When your ready to sell the Shrew send me a PM!!
Matty: like he will ever be ready to sell the shrew !! :biglaugh:
I got at least 11 months and a couple of weeks on the Shrew, according to Ron...
But, I should have the Swan in about two months, Arvid has a batch about to be made.
Crazier things have happened!
Like me thinking, how can I scratch together enough dough, to order a forward handle Hybrid from Arvid in a month or so....
If you ordered a 66", you didn't order a hybrid, you ordered a Classic. Did you mean a 56" perhaps?
Nope, today I ordered a Classic Longbow...I want a Hybrid too.
LOL I understand.
Had a hybrid - sweet bow! If arthritis hadn't have hit me hard I would still have it too. Waited alot longer than 2 months, man your lucky ... or smart :saywhat:
