Title: My new Super Shrew (Couple new pics pg. 4)
Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 06, 2007, 02:26:00 PM
I got my new Super Shrew a few weeks ago and just thought I'd share my new shooter. I hope that the pics aren't to big.

Her stats are: 56" 49#@26"
Black phenolic riser with bloodwood accents. Black/grey curly birch veneers and bamboo cores.

Strung profile.

I fixed your pics for you. You can't leave a space between the end and the IMG box. VM13

One more for Mr. LaClair to see the limb tip.

  (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/Donavan_Daniel/100_1011.jpg)

When "Pearl" got here, her limb tip was sticking throught the box. It must have been a very rough ride getting into Canada.

Cheers,
Donavan

PS: The marks that are there don't photograph very well. They are just cosmetic anyway.

Beautiful bow Donavan, I know you will truly enjoy your Shrew.  I know after owning my Shrew Classic Hunter I am spoiled for anything less.  It is THE best bow I have ever owned!

Post by: bbassi on August 06, 2007, 02:43:00 PM
nice! and the shelf is on the correct side even.  ;)

only thing that would make it nicer is if it were a take down, and MINE.  :)

Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 06, 2007, 02:47:00 PM
Thanks guys. I really love those Super Shrews.

This is the 3rd one that I've gotten. My first one, I gave to my bro for his B-day. It was a used right hander that I tryed.

The next one just might have to be a take-down.

Can you guys see the pics in the first post?

WOW!!! I have been fortunate enough to see a whole bunch of Shrew's...but that one stands out! BEAUTIFUL!

Man I love Shrews too!!!!!!!  Love the curvy lines!!!!! and them limb vaneers are down right purty!

Congrats!!

Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 06, 2007, 03:02:00 PM
Mr. Norris, having you say that this bow stands out is fantastic! I know that you have had the chance to see many of these Super Shrews.

Over&Under, I really love the curly birch veneers. If you hunt from tent blinds and don't care for plain old black glass, the black/grey venners should work just as good. And have more figure

 :thumbsup:

Thanks for fixing the pics Vermonster.

Thanks Brad. What did you order?

Cheers,

Title: Re: My new Super Shrew (Couple new pics pg. 4)
Post by: maconducks on August 06, 2007, 06:05:00 PM
Awesome!  I have a little favorite in the same finish ordered!  Oh the wait is killing me.  I'll forget about it until someone post pics of thier shrew on here.
Title: Re: My new Super Shrew (Couple new pics pg. 4)
Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 06, 2007, 06:13:00 PM
Thanks for the kind words fellas, really appreciate it!

Hey there Frank! I've always been a lefty. I'm just lucky enough to be able to shoot right handed also. I've been thinking about getting a pair of bows (one right, one left), and calling them "Mirror Image" LOL!

The Shrew that you had for a while, I got to just try out the Super Shrews. I didn't have it for a week and I ordered my SS Gold.

That right hander gets some real good use by my bro. He didn't get a chance to bowhunt last year, but got real close to a moose the year before with it.

Again, thanks all,
Donavan

WOW, She sure is purty. I have never shot a shrew but hopefully will soon. LOL Congrats
Title: Re: My new Super Shrew (Couple new pics pg. 4)
Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 06, 2007, 06:19:00 PM
Maconducks, I know about the wait LOL! I was like that waiting on my first one.

Having my SS Gold sure made the wait easier this time!

You'll love the curly birch veneers. I've never really been a fan of black bows until I saw these veneers on Mr. LaClairs sight. The beauty is there, you just have to get closer to see it or the bow just looks black from a distance.

Cheers,
Donavan

Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 06, 2007, 07:52:00 PM
I should really give a big Thank You to both Mr. LaClair and Gregg Coffey.

So Thank You to both of you gentlemen! This is just an awsome bow.

Jedimaster, it doesn't take much to start thinking about a new bow does it   :)  .

Cheers,
Donavan

Heydeerman, those sound like real beauties. Osage accents will be real sharp. I know that the SS's with the zebra wood that I have seen, have been great looking bows. When you get them, I'd love to see some pics.

Roger, that bloodwood sure looks good with osage.

Tim, I've seen a couple of your bows, and they are awsome looking bows also!

Cheers,
Donavan

Mr. Norris....thanks for the shot of your SS Gold, I can't wait.
Donavan...are those arrows the new ones offered by Ron on his website? if so, how about a few words on them, I have been looking at the grey/burgandy colored set and was wondering about performance,quality etc. Thanks
Title: Re: My new Super Shrew (Couple new pics pg. 4)
Post by: Tim Fishell on August 08, 2007, 02:08:00 PM
The arrows Ron offers are top of the line.  They are built by Paul Jalon of Elite Arrows.  I have yet to find a better built arrow for the price.  Give Ron a call and he will set you up.  I have a set of the Autumn Legends and a set of the Shadow Wings.  Best wood arrows I have ever shot.
Title: Re: My new Super Shrew (Couple new pics pg. 4)
Post by: Donavan Daniel on August 08, 2007, 08:54:00 PM
Louutah, exactly what Tim said. I have the Autumn Legends (I guess the pics give that away   :rolleyes:  ). I've bought arrows from others that were as beautiful as these, but the quality of Mr. Jalon's arrows is unbelievable.

I've never seen wood arrows spin so true! If one of my Legends don't hit the mark, I know full well that it was me LOL!

I'm going to get a set of either Shadow Wings or a set of laminated birch from Mr. Jalon. These arrows are absolutly fantastic.

Thanks Two Arrows.

Cheers,
Donavan
