Shrew Model - T # 2 UPDATE

Ron LaClair · July 15, 2009, 09:32:00 AM

UPDATE

The Model-T prototype has a new grip and it is working very well. Like it's little brothers, Super Shrews and Classic Hunters the new bow now sports a user friendly molded grip. The difference has tightened up the groups. This is a six shot group shot from 30 yards. The arrows are Beaman ICS made by Paul Jalon. I may have to dust off my old chronograph,..these puppies are SMOKING.. :eek:

Looking good Ron!! Only 51 more weeks until I can give mine a test drive!!

It looks like with that long riser the phyical weight will be about 1 3/4 to 2 lbs.which I consider to be a perfect weight when shooting a longbow without a bow quiver!
I wonder how much these T-bows weight(physical) with the wood they have in the riser? Ken

Good shooting Ron. I know it is a nice bow, but it has to be in good hands to get a 30 yard group that is that tight!

Ken, This is a 64" bow. I had it weighed on the P.O. scale and it was 1lb 10.1oz. The foam limbs are very light so most of the weight is in the riser.

Allan, that was my best group in an hour of shooting last night. It's hard sometimes to get 6 good releases in a row.. but when you do the bow will do it's job... :D

i'm think'n ron you need to make a rightie and have me test drive it for you

Ron LaClair · July 15, 2009, 12:58:00 PM

We had a RH Model-T at the Compton Rendezvous and it was "tested" by quite a few people....

Ron, How will a longer bow perform with a shorter draw lenght. Like 25 inches or so?

Tim Fishell · July 16, 2009, 10:12:00 AM

Dan, I was really impressed with the bow Ron and Gregg had at Comptons. My draw is just shy of 28" and the bow was 66" long but it really threw an arrow down range.

Ron,

Are you settin' up at the GLLI, so we can give these fine bows a whirl?

Ron LaClair · July 17, 2009, 09:11:00 AM

Eric, I'll be there but I won't be set up. I'll have one or two Mod.T's with me if you or anyone else wants to try one.
