Greetings. I was fortunate enough to come home from Kalamazoo with a new Classic Hunter 56" 54# @ 28" Bubinga veneers, foam, carbon, mystery material, etc. I'll try and post pictures for the first time. Thanks to Gregg and Ron for all their help.

Very Nice! I really like the deer mount too.
Very nice and a little too heavy for me so it didn't come home with me. :(
I hope you enjoy it. :thumbsup: 4-6 months to go for me.
Awesome I like them veneers.
Nice looking bow, beautiful wood. I'll bet it shoots nice. Someday I may own one!

Sweet indeed! Great combination of woods. I just ordered another...will be a long wait. Interested to hear your shooting impressions with the new limb lay-ups. Congrats on your new toy! :clapper:
Sweet, sweet, sweet.I saw some of that Shrew bubinga on Larry Surtees Shrew and I have to say, theres nothing so beautiful to my eye as far as veneers. Reminds me of brook trout markings. Good luck with that.

Love your new shrew, the more you shoot it, the more you will like it. I sure love my 2 shrews 51# @ 28" 60" and 60# @ 28" 54". Awesome shooters, very smooth. Enjoy God Bless Don

IMO.... you have just found the infamous magic bow.
WOW !
Carl
Bubinga is the ticket. Thats a fine looking bow.
Very nice!!!
Some Day. Sweet Looking Bow.
I was at the bow expo, don't remember seeing that bow! Pretty!!!
I'd like to shoot that.
Which bow are you guys talking about, there all very handsome bows. Tim let me post my bows on this thread so we would'nt have a bunch of shrew threads. I know a few more shrews were sold, lets see them.
Tim,
That is a beautiful bow!!! :thumbsup: I believe I got a chance to shoot that one friday night at Kalamazoo. All the Classic Hunters shot great !!!
Bill
It's been a while since I've seen or shot that bow. I'm a little surprised Ron let it go. I'm not a lefty, but it was a very nice shooter. Congratulations on your addition. I've seen two Limited editions sold here. Very rare find.
Tim-that is one pretty bow! good luck and good shootin'!!
Ray, I know I'll regret letting that bow go, it was a very special bow. You probably remember when I first got it I did a shooting demonstration for the Sportsmans Club in Iron Mountain. You were there to throw targets for me and the bow did a good job for us that day. Then of coarse there was the "Deaf" buck that I took on the hill above camp with it and still get razed about... :archer:
I told Dave how the bow got it's name. One evening when I was trying to think of a name for my new bow, a falling star streaked across the sky. I took that as a sign and had John draw a falling star and the name "Shooting Star" on the bow.
I don't have the bow anymore but I still have the memories.

The last year and a half or so Ron would have #13 at Kzoo and Comptons and would always let shoot the bow. I really appreciate it and thanks again Ron.
Dave
Gorgeous!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ron,
I do remember you using that bow up at Iron Mountain for the shooting demonstration. It worked very well. A lot of guys think that all the talent lies in the shooter at hitting arial targets, but in reality, it's the thrower who has to time the throw and put it right where the shooters arrow is going to go. :rolleyes:
Actually, I also remember you shot very well with everything except the aspirins--that is until we got some dark trees in the background so you could see the aspirin better-then you made short work of it.
It's interesting that way back when we were shooting a shooting course after you first got that limited that I shot it and really liked it even though you put the shelf on the wrong side and you said "you would like the 60" model". Of course that's my favorite lenght Shrew right now. I guess I should have listened to you long ago. :knothead: :p
:archer2:
I have those same highly figured bubinga veneers on one of my Shrews. It is gorgeous. Congratulations on a wonderful bow. You will love it!
