Solid Gold Super Shrew

[Curtis Haden]

Super happy to get a package in the mail today!!!  Super Shrew Gold - osage and zebrawood - 58" and 42@28.





Got her home and strung up for the first time. I'm just blown away at how pretty this bow is!





About ready to put her through her paces, but the setting sunlight on that bois d'ark was just too cool not to take a couple more pictures!





So I just took a few close shots, maybe 8 or 10 yards, to see how everything felt and to pick out an arrow. My other bows are wearing skinnier strings, and I could tell I was going to have to do a little work before I could evaluate much... Went back inside and opened up the nock on the arrow that was flying the best, then back to the range. Here's the first shot from 25 yards after I tuned the arrow nocks.



I'm not a fantastic shot, but I was putting arrows where I wanted on a pretty consistent basis all afternoon. Very pleased with how this bow turned out, and how it shoots! Its not the quietest bow I've ever shot, but very acceptable in my opinion, especially considering I haven't tuned the brace or silencers at all yet. Just an audible, but dull "thonk" on the shot. As good as any other highly r/d longbow right out of the box, that I've shot. Arrow speed looks very good to my calibrated eye. The SS Gold model has bamboo limb cores, and its   super  smooth at my 28" draw length. Its very light in the hand, but points great and doesn't feel the least bit unstable. The grip is perfect!!! I've owned a Griffin in the past, and this one fits as good or maybe even a little better for me. Chuck did an absolutely fantastic job building this beauty!

Exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks Ron!!!
