Title: New (to me) Shrew w/pics
Post by: kadbow on December 20, 2008, 07:07:00 PM
You gotta love new bows.  Just took this new to me Shrew to the range to start tuning it in.  This bow is a 58" Super Shrew Deluxe, 54# @ 28", bacote riser and curly birch limbs.  I set it up similar to my other 58" Shrew as a starting point.  A few minor adjustments to nock height and brace height and the bow was shooting quiet and the arrows flying good.  I had to get it shooting so I can show it off at our regular Sunday trad shoot tomorrow.  I bought and shot my first Shrew last summer and they are now my favorites.   :bigsmyl:

You are goingto love that bow.  The pic to the right is an elk Igot with my shrew.  Had the bow only three weeks at the time. Fast and quiet.

By far the nicest Shrew Ive ever seen.They were all very nice but yours is perfect.When you decide that its no longer a keeper Ill be sitting on this here branch like a vulture with a money order under his wing.

Claudia,

Do you still have the Scout Gold that you reviewed for Women Hunters at one time? Nice bow. I hope you get one of the Shrew longbows. I now have 5 Shrews, including 2 Gold models. I like the short riser bows like the Classic Hunter and Lil Favorite better than the longer riser Super Shrew models. That is because with my 29 1/2" draw length, I need to get a longer overall bow, and one of the advantages of the Shrews to me is having a short, light bow. The Shrews are all great, and the bow that Mark got is still short enough at 58" and has great looking woods. I have a couple of Shrews on order that have wood combinations similar to Mark's bow. That bow would be too short for me at my draw length, although I can shoot a Lil Favorite and a Classic Hunter in a 54" (or 56" too).

Happy hunting and Merry Christmas.

Allan

GOSH WHAT A BEAUTY! THAT IS EXACTLY THE BOW I WANT, star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish upon this star tonight, that someday a shrew such as this, will no longer be just a wish!
The length, woods and poundage are precisely what I have wanted........awwwwwwwwwh

Pacopperhead,

Yes you can! Gregg can do just about anything, and certainly can make a bow that looks the same as this one.
