Title: New Burly Shrew
Post by: kadbow on January 07, 2012, 02:31:00 PM
It has been a long week, I got this Shrew on Tuesday and didn't get to shoot it until today.  It shoots like all my other past and present Shrews, deadly quiet.  It is a 54" Classic Hunter, 54# @ 28", walnut dymondwood riser with myrtle burl limb vaneers.  I like it!

Gregg has created another beautiful bow that undoubtedly shoots as good as it looks! Congratulations, Mark. I know you are going to enjoy the bow and hopefully take a lot of game with it.

One of my dream bows. How you reckon she draws @ 29". That 4 day wait to shoot it probably ranks right there with waiting for the electric chair and I'm sorry you had to go through it! A real looker.

Possum Head,

A 54" Classic Hunter will draw very well at 29" (and beyond), but I think you would probably prefer a 56" CH with your draw length, given a choice and if you didn't need the absolute shortest bow possible.

I just bought a couple pieces of myrtle today to make some bow racks.  They did not look that good- that bow is too cool.

Man...a classic hunter is tough to beat, so smooth and hits the target with little tuning

Enjoy

That is a cool looking grip. What have you got going there? Is that a molded grip?  That looks like it would be outstanding in wet weather....

Good looking rig there.    :thumbsup:

Beautiful bow.  I have been thinking about those same veneers on my next bow and those pictures settled it for me.

Yes it is a TD and Kirk it is just a thin leather wrap for the grip.
