I've been selling some wool sweaters in the classifieds and delivered a couple to another TG'er at the K'zoo Expo. I took the $20 to the B4K both and bought some raffle tickets for their fund raising package. On the Sunday drive home, I got a call that they had drawn my ticket. The package arrived Friday and I picked it up Saturday morning. Inside was a short brim retro camo hat and a nifty pocket camera mount donated by Spinrite Cresters; a really cool wood bow quiver by Cherokee Slims; a special #8 of 12 footed arrow by Bob Clarady; and a Shrew Classic Hunter from Gregg Coffee. The Shrew is 54" and 52 lb @ 28" with a bocote and phenolic riser and limbs with bamboo and carbon core and bocote veneers with kudu horn tips. I finally had the chance this afternoon to introduce the Shrew to some fir arrows and my basement target bag. I'm not really a short bow guy, but I think we'll manage to get along.
Many thanks to Gregg Coffee, Dan Worden, Edwin Burgess, Bob Clarady and the other ticket buyers for their support of B4K, to Andy and Linda Gehringer for their tireless efforts in support of B4K and to the Benefit 4 Kids organization for the dreams come true they provide to these children so deserving.

Congrats, Rick! Sounds like a great prize won in support of a fine cause.
I suspect you'll find this bow sneaks into your consciousness as a surprise favorite. It would be "the bee's knees" for some of your tight-tucked-in ground blind applications.
I hope we see a photo of you next season with the deer you killed with it. Way to go!
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
congrats :thumbsup:
What Kenny (4runr) said X 10 !!! Could not have happened to a finer gent.
Fletcher, not sure what is the purdiest in that pic.... your arrows or another masterpiece from Gregg ! Looks like you need to tighten up that group there, mighty poor looking.... :laughing:
Awesome,congrats.
That is terrific! I remember my day in the sun. I was 1978 when I won a Ducks Unlimited "Soap on a Rope"!
That a good bargain for $20 bucks!
It is quite a treat for me and I'm looking forward to spending some time with this Shrew. I may take it turkey hunting this spring. I'll have to come up with something special for B4K.
Mike, thanks for noticing. I first crested it last summer and I like how it goes with my chartreuse fletch.
