I have always wanted to try a one of Ron La Clair's Shrew bows. So when my good friend Jamie Gaffey (Gaff) traded for a Classic Hunter and said he loved it, I had to try one. I traded my precious Black Widow PSAX for a 58" Super Shrew Deluxe. Let me start by saying I love to carry light bows, but I have never found one I could shoot as good as a heavier bow like my PSA. When I pulled it out of the package I could not get over how natural the grip felt. It was like someone took a mold of my hand and sent it to Ron. I took it out and shot a few arrows. This bow was AWESOME!! It was almost like it aimed itself. I couldn't stand it, I had to go break it in. In Oklahoma we have a bad armadillo problem, so the hunt was on. I only had about 30 minutes until dark, so I went to one of my best dilla huntin grounds. I shot six times and killed six armadillos. It was almost like I couldn't miss. My hat is off to Ron and Greg for making the most impressive bow I have ever shot. I will be a life long Shrew fan.

Sounds to me like your search is over my friend!!!!  

hey bud, i was wondering how you liked it... im glad, i was a little worried.. goin from a widder to a shrew is one heck of a differance..

im startin to think i may have to start lookin for plane tickets..maybe a 2011 hog hunt?? whatcha think dude?? hahah

Come on down we have plenty of them. I chased them around yesterday, but never got a shot. I was worried about the dramatic switch myself. Not anymore!

Nice!  

we wanna see some pics of that dilla killer!!
come on daniel!!

Awesome! Gotta love those shrews!

Yup, that grip is the best I have found.  I am still kicking myself for selling my Classic Hunter.  Being new and ill-informed, I had ordered it too heavy. I think I'm going to have to get another!  Congrats!!!

Those Shrew bows do look good, sure sounds like you got a keeper!

Something sweet about longbows in general IMO. You got yourself a good one. Im loving my Griffin, and Im pretty sure thats one of the reasons Gaff made the jump.

I have been itching fiercely for a Shrew. Just hate spending that much doe. Whats your draw length Dan?

I will try to get some pics. I am usually at work when I'm on here so I can't post pics. Poison arrow, my draw length is 27.5. The 58" doesn't stack up at all. That is why I want to try a shorter one someday.

I shoot a 56" Classic Hunter, and, at 32" of a draw, I am short drawing it.  Smooooooooth all the way back to my anchor.  The bow was scaled by Gregg, and gains a constant 2.5#/in from 26/27 to 32".  I don't feel any stacking at 32+".  These are really sweet bows!

Man I want to shoot one of these bows!!!!  

Same here , I want to try a one piece. Short List is Shrew , Centaur , Griffin . Waiting for the right deal. Congratulations on your new bow. Take care , Randy

You won't be disappointed!  

I sure am enjoying my super shrew deluxe. Your right about the grip. It just seems so natural right from the get go!

Big    for Shrews!!

my guess is the wait just got longer......

What is the shrew grip most similar too.
