Title: New Shrew...Pics
Post by: Otto on February 24, 2009, 06:38:00 PM
I've wanted a Shrew for many years.  Just never got off my butt and put myself on the waiting list.  Ron LaClair was so gracious to have this bow on his stock bow list and I had to have it.

It's a 58 inch Super Shrew Gold, 49 @ 29".  I can honestly say it's the only other 58 inch bow (my BW Recurve being the other) that I ever felt comfortable drawing to 29 inches.  It is also extremely quiet and I haven't even put any silencers on it.

Awesome bow Ron...Thanks!!!!

Man, the only thing wrong with that bow is that it's right handed.   :)   Seriously it's beautiful.

What arrows are you using with it?

The bow is beautiful and my choice of draw weight. The riser looks like diamond wood with spacers which make it look richer, and also give a longbow more phyical weight. Limbs are a beautiful color! Let us know if it shoots as good as it looks and with what type of arrows. Ken

Nice pick-up Steve.....18-20# more draw weight and you could hunt with it.   :p  

Seriously, I'd love to end up with a 2 pc TD, 60", 65# @ 30" Shrew one of these days.

It's OK, John.  I'm not sure that bow would stand up to a 37" draw anyway!!!    :goldtooth:

Nice bow Otto, I think I'm going to have to get on that waiting list too !

Post by: Otto on February 25, 2009, 03:46:00 PM
Darren

18-20 more #'s???  If I drew that much weight you'd see my left *** rolling down the hill towards the first target at Cloverdale.

John...I order those righty handed bows to keep guys like you and my brother from walking off with my stuff.

Daryl...You got that right about John's draw length!!!!!
