I wish I was Ed's postman!!!!

Hey, didn't you tell us at camp this year you were going to institute a "Shrew Bow quality assurance team" after the first of the year and all bows were going to be shipped through Greg, Roger and I for a complete once over and test firing???  That should have started with this bow!  :readit:    :saywhat:  

Congratulations Ed. That's a dandy looking CH.

Beautiful bow, Ron.  Gregg, it seems like everything that leaves your hand is a gorgeous piece of deadly "art"!  The wood combination on this one is terrific, and I predict that in the hands it is going to, it will be taking a lot of critters.

Big Ed, congrats on a great bow.  With its "stable mate," you have a neat bow arsenal.  It's great to see how you have worked through a bad, bad injury to remain a skilled and effective hunter.  Go got 'em, Big Guy!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Gregg was very patient and very professional in helping to find exactly what I wanted.
I hope if I order a couple more bows maybe I'll be invited to Shrew Haven.LOL
These little bows are in my mind the finest hunting bows. Quiet,Quick and Stable.
Hey Doc whenever you need the lighter Shrew let me know.

Careful, ya big bear, I might take you up on that...  :archer:    :jumper:  

but this unemployment debacle plauging me right now with all the State changes, makes any bow but one on my door I put up for Christmas, impossible, if not highly improbable!

You going fox'in?
Title: Re: Big Ed's Shrew Classic
Post by: Big Ed on January 14, 2012, 01:22:00 AM
Doc, I don't think I am doing the Fox'in deal. I am really busy at work. They have me supervising on second shift which will start next week 4pm to 2am. So pretty much all of my spare time will be devoted to family time.
I may try to break the new bow in at some point if time allows!

Post by: Big Ed on January 14, 2012, 01:29:00 AM
I almost forgot to mention I got the bow in Friday while at work and as soon as I got home I was greeted with the box. I am very impressed to say the least. Gregg's workmanship is awesome, he totally nailed this one. Everything I asked for and more,I cannot wait to shoot it.
Thanks again to Ron and Gregg for the awesome product and experience in dealing with two class acts. Anyone out there contemplating on ordering a Shrew get in touch with Ron or Gregg and experience the way it should be done.
