Shrew sickness!!

Sweet looking bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are those veneers?

[Lefty]

Allen,
 Nice looking bow!  How do you like the grip compared to your widows and acs?  I had a shrew a couple years ago, but 1. it was a little to heavy draw weight for me and B. I struggled with the grip some.
 What's that big target you are shooting those arrows into?  That look really nice!

I do believe you owe me dinner Mr. Shafer!

Another beauty and a straight shooting lefty!  Congratulations on adding another keeper to your stable Allen.

Sharp looking bow, what's the veneers

[amar911]

Bob (Lost Arra) knows me too well. I have been trying to resist saying anything, because I am suffering from a few viruses right now, with the Shrew virus making my wallet the sickest. That is a beautiful bow that you got Allen, and looks like it may be the one that Ron LaClair used to own and hunt with that made a trip out to Colorado to a couple of other TradGang members who owned it before Allen bought it. You know any Shrew that Ron chooses to own and hunt with is going to be a nice one! I would have bought that bow a couple of times when it was for sale before if it were not wrong-handed!

Although all the Shrews will continue to be wonderful bows, they do keep getting better, and the latest model that I just had made for me and received 10 days ago is easily the best ever. I would hate to try to say which bow out of all the really great ones out there is the best all around bow, because each one of them is a tradeoff. All I can say is that Ron and Gregg have succeeded in making all the right tradeoffs to make the Shrews the "best of breed" in a short, light, smooth, fast, great feeling bow. That is not what every bowyer is trying to build, and it is nice to have the variety of types we do. There are many other bows I own and love too, but I am definitely a devotee of the Shrew line. Congratulations on your new to you Shrew Classic Hunter, Allen.

Bob, if you have liked my other Shrews, you have got to shoot my latest two. They are both fantastic, but the last one I got will blow you away. It is the holy grail of short, light, quick handling bows. Give me a call when it warms up a tad and I will come over and shoot with you.

What are the specs on it? Length and poundage.

Sweet looking bow.Are those limbs Camphorburl or Curlybirch.

[A.S.]

Yep the limbs are Curly Birch, riser is phenolic.

Specs are 56" 51@28", I was told that this bow started out as one of Ron's personal bows.

Chris, so far the grip fits me pretty well (it's been cold and windy so it's kind of hard to tell how well I'm shooting it). My target is a Block, it's 4' X 4' and WELL broken in (if you can't tell)  LOL

Tim, will a hot dog do? Now I'm out of money again!!

I should have given Mr. Tim a big "thank you".

He took time out of his Christmas day to answer some questions about Shrew bows for me, and blatently nudge me into buying it!

Thanks again Bud!!

[paradocs]

Wait...you needed nudging to buy a bow?  That's rich    

You bringin' that pretty thang to Dixie next week?

[Near Miss]

Beautiful bow (and a lefty at that!!).  I have a 60" Shrew and love shooting it.  I would love to try one of the shorter ones!!

[Ron LaClair]

That bow used to be mine. It's made a couple trips to ShrewHaven and has made meat a time or two. I don't recall who talked me into selling it to him but he was a pretty slick talker, probably a used car salesman..   :D

Allan, it looks like you need to slide your quiver up farther on the riser, both top and bottom. The limbs bend into the riser and if you don't get the quiver up past the fadeouts as far as possible it restricts the limbs. Take care of my bow, she's a sweetheart...

Hello, Ron...may have made the same mistake on mine.  Can you post a pic of a correctly mounted quiver?  Might be a help to us all.  Thanks.  

[Ron LaClair]

This is the only picture that I've got with a quiver mounted on the short riser of a Classic Hunter. I hope this helps.

 

[Red Boar]

Thanks, Ron...just to be clear, you want the quiver mounts as close to the center (opposite direction of the tips) of the grip as possible?

[kadbow]

I've been infected and symptoms are getting worse as my next due date approaches.

[pcappy08]

[A.S.]
