Shrew Model-T

Tim Fishell · June 26, 2009, 02:19:00 PM

I would say the performance was pretty close to the same as the shorter bows. This bow was mid 40's in weight so quite a bit less than I normally shoot. Gregg had some 500 carbons made up that I shot out of this bow and they zipped pretty good from this lighter weight bow. My dad shot the bow as well with some heavier wood arrows and it seemed to spit them out very well.

Hello there

Why a longer riser?
Why not the short riser with the longer limbs?

Wouldn't it ad more punch with the added sweetness.

Thanks
Fred

ya got base price???????????????????

Great lookin bow! How long is the rise?

Fredouille, Longer working limbs on a long bow, just add limb mass which does not recover as quickly. Longer bows generally shoot faster and softer in the hand with shorter working limbs. With the longer overall length, they don't stack either. Of course amount of deflex/reflex has an big impact.

TNstickin, Riser length is 24", and could be adjusted some for different overall length.

Marco, we have not decided on a base price yet. It will be more than the base Classic or Super Shrew. Lots more material and work in this design.

Thanks for all the kind comments,

Gregg

Great job Ron and Gregg ! Looks like a winner to me, seems like Ive noticed somewhat of a trend back to longer bows over the past year or so...way to stay on the cutting edge guys.

I peronsally think ya done good

. I have been shooting 66" bows for the last 3 yrs. the callous on my ring finger is gone; my release has improved a lot; my groups are getting smaller

thats pretty cool! I like shrew bows, but not short bows, so this is my kind of bow!

TNstickn · June 28, 2009, 07:26:00 PM

I seam to be thinkin longer myself. Cant really say as to why, just somethin else to play with I guess! I love the design, it looks great.

bentpole · June 28, 2009, 07:50:00 PM

I'd like to shoot this one.

Lots of reflex deflex in those limbs.

Boy Howdy!!!!

I've always admired the Shrew bow line from a distance....

With about a 32" draw I was afraid to try them. Not to mention, I simply LIKE bows about 66" long. Guess I need to add ANOTHER thing to my wish list....

**DONOTDELETE** · June 30, 2009, 05:04:00 PM

Awesome! You guys have done a TON with the Shrew line in the last few years....awesome!

I think there is officially "A Shrew For Every Shooter" now!

Imagine this one with a foam core and carbon limb. Can you say ORDER NOW.

QuoteImagine this one with a foam core and carbon limb

That's what the next prototype is going to be...left handed of coarse..

BobW · July 01, 2009, 07:41:00 AM

Oh my........ This could earn a spot on my bow rack with my 56" Classic Hunter.....

You haven't commented yet to the inquiries of a long draw. Any insight yet as to what it might be able to take?

I can't wait to try one out at Kalamazoo.

Java Man · July 01, 2009, 09:33:00 AM

Bob,

I pulled that one to 32" on my tillering tree, and it was still no more than 3#/in way out there.

How would a long bow be for a 26in draw?

George D. Stout · July 01, 2009, 01:37:00 PM

Since it is a Model T, I suppose it is only offered in black? Nice bow Ron.
