Ron & Gregg had to talk me into the two piece, sure glad they did. I like the added weight in my hand. Can't tell it is a two piece shooting it. It will fit great in my flyrod case playing outback in Colorado and some other wilderness adventures.  (http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l182/highcountry_photos/SS-TD-625.jpg)

52# @ 29"....that will work out west ,up north, down south, in the east or any place else including your backyard! Unless you draw 22"   :saywhat:    :biglaugh:

Nice bow, I agree it will work well anywhere in the US. I also like the fact it's 2 piece, again thats a very nice bow.

I only draw 27", so only about 47# for me.  Still spits an arrow pretty good.  I have some heavy footed arrows I made from Great Basin shafts. Great combo. My last bull was taken from my #54 Schafer. Another great bow! I am a lucky guy.

That is a nice looking bow highcountry. I agree
with what you said about the bow bolt. Rock solid. I was very skeptical until I shot one.
Then I had to own it. Just picked this 56" 53@28 Classic Carbon/Foam Hunter at the K-zoo expo.

Those are some really beautiful limbs, are those curley birch?  Gregg said he had about 19 Shrews to take to the K-Zoo show. Must of been a real sight to see them all. Gregg has really turned out to be a super bowyer, can't believe he does it part time. Must not sleep much, with work, kids and all.

Yes sir Curly Birch. I shot the 56"er better than I did the 60"er. I did a shooting comparison twice to be sure it was'nt a fluke.
I pull 28" draw. Greg is a nice guy,and very
talented. I was on Ron LaClairs list a couple years ago. When I got the call,I was not financially ready. When I got this little bow,I
shook Ron's hand and said "finally."   :thumbsup:

Riverrat, I checked that bow out friday night, and that is a beauty! Well done!!!

Post by: riverrat 2 on January 29, 2012, 11:12:00 PM
I tell ya'what CDR...I came back to get that bow and as was walking up,another fella' took it down,and headed to shoot it. I was nervous,he came back,set it down,picked up another and headed to try that one. I grabbed that bow and was asking Greg a few questions about it. The guy came back,asked if I was going to shoot it
cause he wanted to try it again. I looked at
Greg and said "will VISA work?" had to have her.

Great looking bow. Those Shrews are great shooters. I love mine, though I wish mine was a 2 pc also.

For some strange reason, we have two bows leftover from Kalamazoo that are nearly identical to Victors initial posting on this thread.  62" RH 51@29" and 60" LH 54@28".   Both are one pc bows.
