Title: 2 New Shrews for the bow rack- New Pics!
Post by: Skipmaster1 on December 10, 2011, 10:29:00 PM
Got the call today from Ron, my new shrews were shipped yesterday and should be here Monday or Tuesday! I can't wait, looks like it will be an early christmas this year! Last January my fiance ordered me one for a wedding present. We got married in August and she knew it probably wouldn't be ready until our first anniversary, but she knew I wanted another shrew. She kept in a secret so the same week she ordered it i ordered one as well! Anyway I got a call from Ron about 2 weeks ago and he said for various reasons they were flying through the list and I was up for both bows, months ahead of schedule!

I ordered a 60", 60# Super Shrew, Bow bolt, Macassar veneers and Zircote riser and a 56", 50# Classic hunter with carbon/foam, bow bolt and grey curly birch veneers.

Hopefully I will have pictures very very soon!

That is one hell of a woman! Just remember a couple of things: "I am sorry" and "Yes Honey".  Congrats on the bows and marriage!

Some pics! They don't do the bows justice. I will have to get some tomorrow outside. They both shoot like a dream. I can't wait to get them fine tuned and make some meat with them! I maybe even this season. I am so happy with how these both came out, they are even more beautiful than the last shrew I ordered.

Like I said to Jamie before, I was either a saint in a previous life or I got drunk one night and don't remember that I sold my soul to the Devil!

I am indeed a very lucky person.

Better that you received those beauties early or you just might not be available on Christmas day.

Congrats!!!

Make sure to post some pictures when you get it!

My wife is great and it helps to explain that the compound I bought 3 years ago cost almost $1500 all set up and is worth maybe $300-$400 now. A shrew was less than that, looks pretty and holds it's value!

Will do! I think the compounding effect of the butt whippin' from my wife had to do with a new bow from Chad Holm, a bill from KUIU, a Mountain Goat hunt deposit paid, AND my new Shrew that wasn't supposed to get until Feb  :)  Like I said, she's getting some jewelry love from Santa. Might save my life!

After seeing that grey lookin' beauty of yours I think I have an idea for another...oh boy.

Hahah. Sounds like a great year! I was told that I wasn't getting much for Christmas since i got a Seekoutside Tipi last month for my birthday, these 2 bows and another elk hunt planned in September! I always say there are way worse things I could be spending my money on!
