I understand that the riser is neccessarily longer and heavier than my Super Shrew, but how do the grip sizes compare? I have a small hand.

Gregg and Ron do it again. Should we rename them the DYNAMIC DUO ????

The grips are all formed by hand, not machine. On the M-T we try to get the same type of form fitting feel as on all the Shrew bows. There may be slightly more "heel" on the M-T. After a year of testing and making slight changes we've settled on what works best for this bow.

We can customize the grip, e.g. large, med, or small.

This is my left hand prototype that I've been shooting for a year.

Excellent.  Very nice looking Ron!

Now all you current shrew owners go the classifieds (or PM me) and dump me a classic hunter, RH, 54", 62# or so with carbon foam made within the last year.

What???  

How you gonna make room for the model T?  

You know you want the latest and greatest- don't ya?

Hey, I am just trying to help Ron :-)

Wow, David. That Model-T of yours is really pretty! I like the positioning of the Bow Bolt so that the riser grip is uninterrupted. Great looking wood. That is a classic beauty.

David,  Very nice bow and I double the comment that the bow bolt is in a great spot.   It adds to the the looks and doesn't mess with the grip.

What I don't get is how you keep drawing blood from that deer and it still is standing....

Does the bow bolt make ANY noise at all, any snicks, clicks, movments, etc. while drawing or on release ???  That's nice looking bow David.

Pat the bow bolt is soild. A little about the bow, all I wanted for sure was a kingwood riser and Gregg did the rest, I think he can tell you why the bow bolt is a little lower on the riser than normal I have know idea.
Dave the rinehart deer are tough

Daryl, I think the T stands for Target. I may be sticking my foot in my mouth, I'm sure Ron will let me know.

If that was the case it would be called a Model B for Burbon.    :)    

I figured the bow was named after Ron's first car!!     :bigsmyl:

That is a beautiful bow, David!

Post by: Tim Fishell on February 19, 2010, 10:59:00 AM
No worries David.  All joking aside the bow was sort of modeled after an older target bow Ron has.  He and Gregg kind of morphed that bow and the current shorter Shrew bows together to come up with what is known now as the Model-T.  The bow has the same great grip that Shrew bows are known for with a longer, slightly heavier riser which makes this a great bow to shoot.

Hey Roger, today it stands for Tiger.

Pat,

I have several bows with Bow Bolts, all but one of them Shrews. The Bow Bolt is a very solid connection. If you didn't know it was there, you could never tell it from the feel or sound, which are the same as a one piece bow.
