Title: 52" or 54" Shrew CH
Post by: IronJohn on March 29, 2009, 02:06:00 PM

I got a Shrew CH on order and can't decide if a 52" or 54" would be better for my short 25" draw. What you guys that have Shrew's think?    IJ

With a 25" draw either one would be just fine.  It would be a personal preference thing.  I have both and I have a 27.5" draw and they both shoot great.  I just got the 52" so I am still trying to get dialed in with that one.

That's a pretty personal affair...I have a 29 draw lenght and between my recurves ( 62", 58", 52", 48" ) my favored is the 48"....

The best is try the different bow and feel it...

I've got a 56" bow with a 28" draw, and I have no problems with finger pinch. I believe either bow would be comfortable for you to shoot. Either would be great for shooting out of a tree stand or ground blind.

With your 25" draw length, I would recommend the 52" CH. I shoot both 54" and 56" Classic Hunters and both work well for me at my 29 1/2" draw length. You might as well take advantage of your short draw and use a shorter, handier bow. That is part of the beauty of the Classic Hunters anyway. A 52" CH will be more than long enough for you.
