My new Shrew!!!! (about time)

Over&Under · January 19, 2008, 11:36:00 AM

I have been wanting a Shrew LB for some time now and finally got my hands on one. This is a new-to-me Shrew Samurai 58" 53@28.

Shoots soooooo sweet!!!! The grip is very consistant and fits my hand like a glove! This could be the perfect bow...

I've got one on a UPS truck somewhere in Texas. Hopefully I will have Tuesday. How does it shoot?

Over&Under · January 19, 2008, 11:44:00 AM

Fast, smooth, quiet, no shock, No kidding!!

I am pushing a 500 grn arrow about 177, according to the chrono last night...

Not too shabby I would say...

It just plain fun to shoot!!!

Shooting Ron's Sitka Supreme arrows with 125 grain field tips weighing in at 490 grains total.

Thanks everyone. :D

Onehair - I am shooting a Vapor 2000 woodgrain 30" long with a 100 grn brass insert with a 145 grn point.

Bare shafts are right on the money!

Mark -

There is a 3-d shoot indoor down in town that I was wanting to go to... I havn't decided what I will do yet.

I know I said I would ttry and make it but...

My wait was about 1 week, as I bought it off the classifieds here. :D

Nice bow, maybe the best grip out there for hybrids. Melts in your hand.

Does your bow have the standard 6 or 8 strand 450+ Shrew string on it? Maybe the photo just makes it look thicker than normal. If not then you might want to consider getting or making one...the thinner string makes a BIG difference in feel and performance for Shrews. A 10-strand D97 will also work pretty well.

Enjoy!

TSP

I put a new FF string from 3 Rivers. I believe it is an 18 strand. It was lying around and was the correct length, so I put it on, since the string that came on it was in bad need of replacment.

Where is the best place to get a 450+ string? Shrew??

Thanks

Jake
