The "Shrew Safari" was inspired by Allan DeVore after his successful hunt for a record book Asian Water Buffalo. Allan is the one who named this bow the Safari.
This particular bow which has the Bow-Bolt take down feature was made for Doug Burns who accompanied Allan on his recent hunt. It has a limb core of bamboo, carbon and mystery core. The striking limb veneers are curly bubinga. It has a solid phenolic riser, buffalo horn limb tips and it also has buffalo horn overlays on the riser riser. The length is 60" and the weight is 70#@ 30"
I have no doubt that this bow is destined for some exciting adventures in the not to distant future.

WOW what an amazing looking bow!! :thumbsup:
What a beauty!
fantastic longbow, ron! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
WOW that's a beautiful bow!
Awesome :thumbsup:
Nice bow Ron! Any chance there is a lefty demo you have been playing with???
Don't give me any credit, Allan DeVore is the man who was the inspiration behind the bow and Gregg Coffey is the talent that brought it to life. :archer:
That's beautiful. The horn overlays next to the dark figured limbs just screams AFRICA.
If I ever go buffalo hunting I'm ordering one like this first
WOW :thumbsup: :archer:
That sure is a beauty!
Archie
Very nice, I could put that to use if I was big enough to draw it!
Am I still on the list buddy???? :p Dang that's a beauty. Those veneers are pretty stunning.
I'm a little jealous that Allan is getting to name bows now, I thought that was the Shrew Crews job? ;)
Another masterpiece of a bow there Ron & Javaman !
At's a goodun' Ron and Gregg.
Beautiful work yet again by Greg.
Shuweeeee that's a beauty Ron.
What a beauty!!!!!!!
Wow, guys you hit that one out of the park! I want one!
Excuse me while I drool all over my keyboard!!
:thumbsup:
me too........awesome!
Awesome looking bow!
Travis
WOW !
Thats awesome!!
Another beauty! And a 60"er, my personal faveorite. :D
Eric
I can TRULY say, without any doubt in my mind, this is THE FINEST looking bow I have EVER seen!
When it comes time for me to go on "The LONG HUNT "
I hope the bow I carry will look half that good.
Boy oh boy that bow just tugs at my soul..
Excellent work!
:notworthy: :notworthy:
It looks purdy and tough as a nail!
Ron,
I don't take any credit whatsoever for the bow! You were the father of the Shrew line of bows, and Gregg is the master bowyer who has given birth to each and every one of them for years now. I have had the great privilege of owning, shooting and hunting with well over a dozen of your bows over the years. There are certainly other great bows made by other talented bowyers, and I own many of them, but the Shrews are the ultimate lightweight, long draw length, smooth drawing, pointable, relatively short bows for the traditional hunter.
My Buffalo Bow is wonderful, but the new Shrew Safari is going to be even better shooting and more attractive. I envy Doug Burns for getting the original Shrew Safari, and I am upset that he is having it sent to Colorado where he will be spending much of the summer, such that I won't be able to shoot it and do a review for awhile. I have told him to bring it back to Oklahoma as soon as possible so I can get it in my hands.
Great job on a beautiful bow that Gregg and you have made a reality. It has been my dream heavy game bow, and now I can only wait to get one built for me when my name comes up again on the order list.
Allan
Allan, do you think Doug would mind if I sent the bow to Colorado by way of Oklahoma?...just a thought.. :biglaugh:
Could send it a few miles north for "inspection" if you'd like..lol
I had to see how the Shrew quiver from Eagles Flight looked on the bow. This one is a 3 arrow model and when you think about it if you're hunting dangerous game that should be enough...if the critter is still coming after 3 shots you'd better be looking for a tree to climb.
I'll bet I could talk Don into making a special "Safari" model quiver, and Paul Jalon could make some "Safari" arrows in wood or carbon....and while we're at it, how about a big heavy "Safari" broadhead. Just rollin around some ideas.
(http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/Safari%207.JPG)
(http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/Safari%208.JPG)
This is a 225gr "Tuffhead" I talked with Joe of Tuffhead today and there may be a 300-325gr head coming soon. Now that would really be a head to take on Safari.
(http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/Safari%209.JPG)
STOP IT!
:biglaugh:
You're makin it hurt..
Doug's probably thinking "quit taking pictures and send me my bow" :biglaugh:
One of the prettiest I've ever seen... great work!
That's a looker for sure!!
looks good

Well said Allan !!! :thumbsup: That sure is a beautiful bow :eek: Gregg sure does build some stunning bows !!! :notworthy: :notworthy:

Gnarly, dude!
Oops, momentary deviation from eloquence. The devil made me dood it! :D
Nicest looking Shrew I have seen yet, Ron and Gregg.
Killdeer :thumbsup: :archer2:
:thumbsup:
Just when I thought I had all of the bows I would ever want :banghead: Stunning bow !
And to think I was going to get a plain old looking Samuri when I put my name on the list again.You just showed me a bow close to what I'll be wanting.It certainly is a beauty !!
Gorgeous. That bow is a thing of beauty. Some day I hope to find a 45# version of that under my Christmas tree.
The most enticing shrew of the enticing shrews.
Ron,I enjoyed our visit this afternoon.I went to your website www.schrewbows.com (http://www.schrewbows.com) to see the picture of the monster water buffalo shot by Allan DeVore. A big congratulations to Allan!
The buffalo horn overlays on the riser of the" Shrew Safari" are a real nice touch. It is a real impressive bow.
Very, very nice bow right there! :thumbsup: :eek:
Pure good looking kill ready shaft slinger!
That is a truly beautiful bow!
Ron,
Great ideas on all the Shrew Safari accessories. I think a 5 arrow Shrew/EFA quiver with the Totem is the ideal setup for the bow. I know I was running out of arrows with the boar I shot. Three is not enough -- at least for me. That broadhead looks like a good one for heavy game.
I do wish the bow could get to Colorado via Oklahoma, but it might cost me a friendship. Doug REALLY wants that bow in his hands. He calls me every day about it. Ray got it right when he said: "Doug's probably thinking "quit taking pictures and send me my bow" :biglaugh: "
Allan
Well I know why it is not a lefty because if it had been it would never leave home. Nice looking bow for sure and although I do not own one(yet) I have shot my share and imagine it shoots as good, or better, than it looks.
Great looking bow, Greg did an awesome job on her. Doug is a very lucky man.
I called Doug this morning to tell him that his bow was on it's way, he's pretty excited. He hasn't been able to see all the post here and maybe it's just as well or he'd REALLY be excited. :readit:
Ron, I read hurriedly through the first time and didn't read everthing. When you are ready for a Safari quiver let me know what you are thinking. We are happy to work with you. Dang, that is a nice bow. :archer2:
Traditional bow shooters are so very lucky to have the great bowers and designers at this time of the great comeback of traditional archery. Safari is a beauitiful name for this bow! Makes me want to sell all my longbows and have only one! Ken Denton
Nice job on the bow Ron And Gregg,You got some mean skills man!
That thing just looks good.
I clicked the picture up top and it seems that fella Dave has some nice critters on the ground Congrats to him as well.
CTT
NICE!!!!!!!
Got a question....how do the bows of 'today' compare to a 2002 Samurai in performance?
Very Nice! Would like to stay and chat, but i better hit the GYM.
Ive seen a lot of beautiful Shrews over the years, but I do believe...this one takes the cake. Stunning !
QuoteGot a question....how do the bows of 'today' compare to a 2002 Samurai in performance?
Terry, the old Shrew Samurai is a great bow. John McCullough was making them in 2002. The Bow Forms that Gregg is currently using is a little different than Johns forms in that they have more reflex in the limb. The added reflex may only make a slight difference but I think the materials that we're using today, carbon,foam,mystery core,.. all contribute to a bow with better performance than the bows we were making 8 to 10 years ago.
I couldn't give you a number in FPS without doing some testing but from my own experience and from customer feedback I can say that the Shrew bows of today are the best we have made to date.
Terry,
This is my own little "gut feel personal analysis". In 2008 I shot this bear using my 59# at my draw, made in 1999 by John McCullough, Super Shrew Samurai http://www.shrewbows.com/raylyonbear2008.html
I'm currently shooting the same arrow combination with my 2010 Super Shrew 'special' (53# with bamboo cores and curly birch veneers and regular fiberglass limbs) and don't notice any perceivable difference in my shooting trajectory. Again, it's not a scientific readout on chronograph, just what I perceive and bareshaft tuning.
My takeaway, a little better performance, more "beauty" and same great shootability. :thumbsup:
BEAUTIFUL!!! :eek:

I hear ya Ray!
Terry,
I have Shrews of all sorts, made with various materials, that are built over a fairly wide period of time. The bows made with similar materials seem to cast arrows at about the same speed. The latest Shrews with advanced materials definitely add some speed, stability, smoothness, and strength, with those characteristics being more or less prominent depending on the actual materials used. In addition, the bows have continued to become more beautiful, and the BowBolt takedown feature is great to have. When Jeff Berberick shot my foam/uniweft/carbon Classic Hunter at the 2009/2010 Solana Ranch Hunt, he said it was far nicer shooting than the older Shrews he had owned. I agree completely, and the newest ones I have are even better. I am going to go to the archery range and take some of my Shrews to shoot them through the chronograph, but speed is not the only thing that is better about the Shrews.
That said, the Buffalo Bow I was shooting in Oz is a Super Shrew Samurai that Gregg built a little over two years ago, and it is a wonderful bow. The bow my buddy Doug was shooting is a 25+ year old Brackenbury recurve that is a nice bow too. You don't have to have the latest and greatest bow made using modern, advanced materials in order to kill game, but the new bows are definitely nicer and have better shooting characteristics. After shooting my Shrew Buffalo Bow Doug wanted to buy one himself. Fortunately, he was able to get the first Shrew Safari. When I get the chance to shoot his, I will do a review and compare it to my Buffalo Bow.
Allan
Allan, I talked to Doug today. He got his Shrew Safari in the mail this afternoon. When we talked, he hadn't shot it yet because he said it was raining there. I told him the bow was waterproof and wouldn't melt in the rain. He said he would give us some feedback and maybe some pictures soon.
lol
What an awesome bow!
Thats is one good looking bow,sweet!
Thats is one good looking bow,sweet!
I got a call from Doug the same day that Ron talked to him. Doug had shot the bow from underneath his porch overhang, so he didn't get wet when shooting, but did when he retrieved his arrows. As a result, he didn't shoot too many times. He told me that the bow was incredibly beautiful, with the rough buffalo horn making the bow look really "Gnarly" and powerful. Although the Shrew Safari is heavy for a Shrew, with all the phenolic, the overlays, and the BowBolt, it is still light compared to three piece bows. Doug said it felt much lighter in mass than the Brackenbury that he took to Oz, and he also said it felt about 10 pounds lighter in draw weight than the Brack which is almost the identical draw weight. Doug has a masters degree in engineering and was puzzled from a scientific standpoint as to how a bow of the same draw weight as another could feel so much lighter to pull than the other one. I told him that many people had experienced that phenomenon (including me), and it usually had to do with the materials and the smoothness of the draw.
Dough told me that the first half dozen arrows where shot to warm up and get the feel for the bow, but then he started plunking the arrows into the target right where he was looking, just like he had done with my Buffalo Bow. He is far more accurate with the Shrew Safari than he is with his older Brackenbury Drifter, even though he shoots the Brack well. For Doug the Shrew Safari is the ideal looking, feeling and shooting heavy game bow. He is going to be using it this fall near his house in Colorado to hunt elk, and is thrilled to have it. He also has a 53# Shrew Classic Hunter that has the same veneers as the Safari, so that lighter bow will be used for deer hunting this fall, even though it would also be fine for elk.
Doug will be back in Oklahoma on July 22 and has promised to bring his Shrew Safari back with him for me to shoot and review. I plan to have a review, with pictures, to post before the end of the month. Hopefully, we can take a swing by the archery range and shoot it side by side with Doug's Brackenbury and my Shrew Buffalo Bow to get some chronograph readings to compare. All three bows are about the same draw weight, although we will confirm that at the archery shop when we are shooting the bows. My draw length is 29.5", and Doug's is about 30" or maybe 30.5" when he is really expanding properly, so we are fairly close.
I hope to hear back more from Doug after he supposedly shot the Shrew Safari yesterday. If I do, either he or I will post something here to update his experience.
Allan
Looking forward to reading about your experiences.
Thank you for doing a review.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ron, please accept my apology for my delay in giving you my observations on the first and only Shrew Safari. I live in a remote Colorado cabin and my Internet service is intermittent at best.
The photos really don't do it justice...it is phenomenal in both beauty and craftsmanship, graceful yet gnarly, light but powerful, and exudes lethal danger.
I've shot about 100 arrows with it, and after the first half dozen shots to get the trajectory imprinted, shot it lights out. It is flawlessly smooth the entire 30 inch draw, and feels much less than 70 pounds for reasons I don't really understand. I haven't choreographed arrow speed, but you can actually hear that it is faster than my Brackenberry Drifter that is probably slightly over 70 pounds at 30". Allan DeVore and I plan to get to ether in about 10 days and do some actual testing, so I'll let you know the results.
Bottom line: I couldn't be happier. Thanks Gregg, Ron and Allan for a truly great bow.
And the Shrew Crew hit's another one out of the park :thumbsup: :notworthy:
Thanks for your evaluation Doug, I'm looking forward to the comparison testing that you and Allan are going to be doing... :readit:
Very Nice to see it in action so fast.
Allan and I spent a lot of time discussing the various options for the Shrew Safari, by the end of our Safari Allan had it pretty much worked out.
I already volunteered to send a couple of my Buff horns over to Allan when we pack his Horns, they will be going to Gregg and maybe we'l do a couple Knives as well. I also have plans to send Gregg some Gemsbok horn when i get back to SA latter this year.
P.S. I really like the name "Shrew Safari"
Good to see you here Doug, ill drop you an e-mail shortly.
It was good to have Andy's input on the Shrew Safari design. He has been shooting Shrews for quite some time now and knows what he likes. Besides, he is a very good shot, as well as being a superior outdoorsman, hunter and guide (PH). I want to get back to OZ ASAP to hunt with him and Mick again, and Doug feels the same way. I am looking forward to shooting Doug's Shrew Safari and will have a review posted before the end of the month. I have to admit a little envy that Doug is getting to shoot the bow without me.
Allan
Allan it looks like next year is going to be our last on the Buffalo where we hunted, There are a couple places left if Doug is keen to get back for another chance.
Andy,
Please hold those spots for Doug and me until you can get us more information on the dates and we can see whether the timing works for us. You know we want to come back, because we told you that before we even left. That was one of the best hunting trips I have ever had -- and I LOVE hunting! Besides, hanging out with you and Mick is about as good as it gets, even though Mick is a wild man. Seriously, Mick is first class in every way, just as you are.
One thing for sure, Doug and I will be bringing our new Shrew Safari bows along to hunt with. Not that I am retiring my wonderful Shrew Buffalo Bow. (In case anyone wonders, it won't be for sale until my widow is trying to clear out my stuff for her next husband. :mad: )
Thanks friend,
Allan

Doug Burns is back in town and brought his Safari Shrew home from Colorado so I could test it. We met for several hours today so I could shoot it along side my Buffalo Bow to compare the two.
I only had my phone camera along, so I didn't take many pictures. Ron took nice ones, so everyone has already seen that the Shrew Safari looks great. In fact, it is the best looking Shrew I have ever seen, and I have seen many of them!
I shot a few arrows from a couple of my lighter poundage Shrews to warm up, then shot my first arrow from the Safari at about 15 yards away from the target. Here is where it hit.
(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv345/amar911/FirstshotwithDougsShrewSafari.jpg)
Ignore the other holes that were made by those wheelie bow shooters with the tiny little light arrows. :rolleyes:
You can see the Safari was shooting well. Almost all of them ended up in the white area of the center two rings. In fact, it was rare that any of my shots were more than two or three inches apart, with most being centered at or just left of the middle of the bulls-eye. I had almost 20 guys come up during the several hour shooting session and tell me that the Safari was the best and coolest looking bow they had ever seen. Some of them used to shoot trad bows, but most of them shot compounds now. Several told me they would like to get a bow like the Safari. Besides commenting on how great the Safari looked, the other statements that always seemed to come from the guys who watched us shoot were how incredibly quiet the Safari was and how accurately it shot for a trad bow with no sights. The comments on the quiet shooting were particularly significant since the Safari bow had absolutely no silencers on it at all and had carbon and other modern materials in the limbs. It was easily as quiet, and I think even quieter, than the Buffalo Bow that was equipped with Cat Whisker string silencers and is one of the quietest bows I own. I cannot imagine how silent the Safari will be when it gets a set of Cat Whiskers, but it will be scary quiet!
As to the accuracy, there are several factors that really helped. One is that I have basically not shot my bows since returning from Oz because of the extreme heat we have had. As a result, my muscles are very fresh and were in good shape from getting prepared for the buffalo hunt. I warmed up well with the lighter bows before shooting the heavier ones, so everything was good on my body to shoot my best. Second, the Safari is incredibly smooth in the draw. The thinner (belly to back) profile of the limbs and the higher modulus materials that allow the limbs to be thinner also seem to allow it to flex very evenly throughout the draw and to rebound (unload) very smoothly upon release. Of course, the bow design is outstanding and is the most important factor, but that design is common to both bows. Third, the vibration of the bow (including "hand shock") is not particularly noticeable, so the bow is easy to keep still during the shot sequence. Fourth, the higher draw weight really helps to produce a nice release, plus the draw weight, for some reason, simply does not feel as heavy as it actually is. I attribute that feel to a very substantial preload and a smooth, progressive, non-stacking draw. Even the wheelie guys who did not think they could draw a trad bow that was around 70 pounds found it much easier to draw than they expected. The good release was aided by my use of a Bateman cordovan tab that works very well with any bow, and especially one as heavy as the Safari. Fifth, the Safari is among the heaviest in mass of any of the Shrews at around 29 ounces, so it has additional heft to stabilize it in the archer's hands, but it is still relatively light compared to typical three piece bows. The lighter weight is especially important when a bow quiver and four or five very heavy arrows are added to the total. Carrying a bow for 10 plus miles a day can become tiring, as Doug can tell you after carrying the Brackenbury with a bow quiver and arrows for days on end.
There are definitely faster bows on the market. A forward, highly deflexed riser that has its limbs set back to accommodate long draw lengths on a fairly short AMO bow is, by virtue of that design, going to be slower than a straighter, lower angle limb pad bow. But the forward, deflexed riser is also more stable, and the Shrews, with their marvelously shaped grip and thumbrest, and their swept limbs that have the grace of a bird in flight, point as well as any bow made and feel wonderful in the shooter's hand. It is the rare archer who does not fall in love with the feel of the Shrew grip once he has held and shot the bow. Then there is the long, stack-free draw that is great for everyone, and especially for the tall, long-armed guys who draw their bows to 30 inches and beyond. The feel and "shoot-ability" of the Shrews more than make up for the compromise in speed that accompanies their well appreciated design. From the fastest bows that may be a few feet per second quicker, to slower bows that could give up a like degree of speed, the Shrews are somewhere in the middle, and certainly are not slouches, even if they are not the speed kings. I certainly like all the velocity I can get, but I will gladly give up a little for the other qualities I found in the Shrew Safari (as well as in the rest of the Shrew line).
Some people would give up just about any other shooting characteristics in a bow in order to have it super quiet, and I surely can't blame them. Fortunately, with the Shrew Safari, that is not necessary. There may be some other design tradeoffs, but silent shooting is not one of them. Nor is beauty, stability, smoothness, light weight, short length, or long, stack-free draws. Those are the reasons I like Shrews so well, and the Shrew Safari is the prettiest, smoothest, quietest and most stable Shrew I have ever shot. :thumbsup: :clapper:

Hmmm, is he wanting two bags of peanuts instead of one? :D
I'm not surprised by the report Allan provided. Very well written. The one nice thing about Super Shrews is that they're consistent pointing from bow to bow. They have their nuances because of style of bow (ie Scout recurve versus Super Shrew Samurai), but the basic hand grip and placement allows for quick settling in (we often swap bow around during practice sessions at Shrewhaven to play with something different)
Like I said, I only had my phone camera with me, so my pictures were very limited. I did want to post the second arrow I shot after the warm up with the lighter bows just to give you an idea of the accuracy of this amazing Shrew Safari. I want to emphasize again that it was the bow much more than the shooter. I typically cannot shoot a bow this well. And the shooting was even done at a fairly common hunting distance of 15 yards with me not being particularly concerned at that point with getting the best accuracy (which may have actually helped me shoot more consistently). I re-weighed the arrows and they are 850 grains with the points I was using. With the ABS Ashby heads they are 915 grains. The arrows "fly like darts" to use the expression I often hear. Here is a photo of my second shot with the heavy arrows.
(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv345/amar911/SecondshotwhentestingDougsShrewSafari.jpg)
The Shrew Safari is going to be a great killer. (Notice the VERY deep penetration of the arrows into the targets -- far deeper than the much faster compound bow arrows were going.) The single most important thing a bow can do is to put an appropriate broadhead-tipped arrow into the right spot on a game animal. This bow can consistently do just that. The other great attributes make the Shrew Safari even better. I certainly cannot say that my Buffalo Bow is not great for the job. It is. But the Safari is a better, nicer bow and does not cost a lot more for what you get. I know of at least one more Shrew Safari in the build cycle right now, but it unfortunately is not mine. :help: I am happy for the guy who will be its new owner. I hope he will share his thoughts about the bow with all of us when he gets the chance to receive it and put some arrows through it.
Allan
I have a feeling that he just might, Allan. ;)
Since "HE" is you, I would trust your feeling, Pat! :bigsmyl:
Allan
That's PAT'S bow?
Dangit Pat, Why can't you be right-handed?
Killdeer :mad:
Sorry Kathy. I'm too old to change. I can only hope that this bow is half as good looking as Doug's.
Pat,
Good news. Gregg says your Shrew Safari is going to be EXACTLY half as good looking as Doug's! :laughing:
Allan
Lol. That would be fine. I'm counting on it shooting nearly as good, though. I'm sure that it will.
I guess I'm going to find out soon. I just got an email from Gregg. I think he is sending the bow to Ron in just a couple of days. It came out within a few ounces of the weight that I asked for. This is only the second bow that I have ordered, and the other one hasn't been finished yet. To say that I am anxious would be an understatement.
Just got it and posted pics. Pretty sweet bow. Thanks for telling me about this model, Allan. And thanks to Ron and Gregg, as well.
