The fourth one you put up worked. I played with your code (it was missing the first bracket in "IMG") and got these to come up.

Now, what are the specs and when will it get to Virginia?

Nice looking Bow Tom.  Can't wait to try it out. Might have to change my mind about just sticking with the one I have.

It's almost a "carbon classic" copy to mine.   ;)  

.....except mine has brown stain curly birch veneers over the foam/carbon combination. Also, slightly different woods in riser, but looks very similar-beautiful to be sure.  I went with a lighter weight, 49#@29", but it still spits a 525 grain Easton Axis 400 on a line.  Great shooting bows, the superb looks are just the cream frosting on the top.    :thumbsup:

Just got back from shooting the bow.No visible differance between the 69# Samuri and this classic.I draw the bow to 29" and it shot my 720 gr.arrows perfectly.Dropping lower in weight and getting great results with these Shrews.

Bill, I think Tom has hit old age and everything that was once long is now shrinking,, sad,, very sad, I on the other hand still shoot a longbow as tall as myself ;-),, Frank

Great looking bow every time I see a shrew I think man I need to get on the list. Just curious what do you guys brace them at. Thanks for sharing.  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Mr.LaClair, Mr.Coffey WOW
Post by: Ray Lyon on May 25, 2010, 09:15:00 AM
I like 7" to 7 1/8" brace on my Samurai and Carbon Classic Hunter.
Title: Re: Mr.LaClair, Mr.Coffey WOW
Post by: Bill Turner on May 25, 2010, 04:42:00 PM
Right on Frank. What's short is short, and long is long, but everything is bigger in Texas. However, anyway you measure it, Tom's got himself a pretty "Shrew". Go Canada!!!

I'm on the list for sometime next year, still have time to figure out what I want, leaning towards carbon foam.
