Title: Shrew/Silvertip What a day!
Post by: Robhood23 on March 09, 2009, 11:46:00 PM
Hey All,
     I have heard all the ranting and raving about shrew bows for awhile now and decided it was my turn to give one a try. I was fortunate enough to pick up a used Samurai here on TG from another TG member who was kind enough to build some mojo into this bow prior to sending it to me. Congrats on a huge mulie Jake. Anyways I am sold, these are outstanding bow! I have never owned a bow with such a perfect grip for me. Here is a pic of the bow and my VERY first 5 shots at 17 yards with the bow!

  Then to make it even a better day I got the call from Beth along with the email showing me pics of my new silvertip that is getting shipped tomorrow. What do you guys think of my new tip!

  Anyways, It has never felt so good to be broke!

Wow, that tip is something else.  That quilted maple is awesome, and I've not seen a riser like that.  Always liked those Samurai shrews as well.  But that tip...Congrats...Mike

Jamie

Thanks for the kind words.  

Now I know why I sold it, it never shot groups like that for me!!!!!  :clapper:  

Glad you like it, and hope it brings you as much pleasure as it did me!

Nice Silvertip too, that riser is some kind of purdy!!!

Thanks guys. I really think Beth gets a kick out of sending the photo's prior to shipping! She knows it drives us nuts with anticipation. She has been a joy to work with on this project and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Sorry abou the shrew bud, but I couldn't turn it down! Thanks for all the kind and humerous words! The tip is a 60" tip and is 50#'s at 29". I had Dave duplicate one of my original silvertips because I liked the grip so much. I ordered this one for 3d's and shooting around becouse I get worn out shooting the 70#er. Thanks again, Jamie

Wow what a Silvertip!  Outstanding.

If work hadn't cut down, I would've tried to beat you to that Shrew! Excellent group.
