Title: New Shrew Hunting Bow
Post by: ronp on September 06, 2012, 10:00:00 AM
Here is my new Shrew Classic Hunter.  It will be my go to bow this fall.  It is 56" long, 44# at 28" draw.  Carbon/foam/mystery core.  Mostly phenolic riser and flat sawn grey action wood veneers.  These pics don't do it justice!

Gregg thought it would blend in well with the hardwoods this fall.  I agree.

It shoots as good as it looks! I have a twin to this one on order.  It will be about 35# draw weight.  I wanted a lighter bow for 3D, stumping and maybe small game hunting and for some friends and relatives, who have never shot a bow, to try.

Nice looking bow, just right for hunting. I finally shot a Shrew last month and was amazed at lack of finger pinch in such a short bow. Very good design and very nicely crafted. Good Luck with her!

Ron, Just a beautiful bow.  My name is up for another Shrew now.  Talking to Javaman about options and I'm thinking grey similar to yours in classic hunter. Anything you would change?  Just wondering.  Doesn't look to me like it could be any better!
Title: Re: New Shrew Hunting Bow
Post by: amar911 on October 05, 2012, 02:06:00 PM
The Shrew Classic Hunter is an incomparable hunting tool. Yours certainly will blend in nicely in the woods. You might want to put a GPS locator on it so you can find it if you ever set it down and walk more than a few feet away!

Thanks Larry.  I really woudn't change a thing about this bow.  It blends in nice and looks great.  I have another, lighter draw weight CH on order and I think I will get it made exactly like this one.

I have been trying not to set it down too much in the woods, Allan!

Ron, another question.  My other shrews are all over 50lbs.  Notice yours is lower and you said you have another on order even less.  Are you happy with performance in the 40's hunting whitetail.
Title: Re: New Shrew Hunting Bow
Post by: SheltonCreeker on October 06, 2012, 12:03:00 AM
Great Looking Bow! Good question above. I have a shrew classic hunter myself just under 50. Around 47 I'm extremly please with mine.
Title: Re: New Shrew Hunting Bow
Post by: KSshrewman on October 06, 2012, 12:11:00 AM
Thanks.  I think I may give 45#s a try.
Title: Re: New Shrew Hunting Bow
Post by: ronp on October 06, 2012, 05:32:00 AM
I haven't shot a deer with it (yet).  Our season just opened.  I am sure it has plenty of performance for deer.  I ordered a lighter CH for stumping and to let some friends and relatives use.
