Title: Shrew Model T?
Post by: Greg Owen on October 11, 2009, 11:53:00 PM

I have seen references to this bow. Anyone have more info? Also, does anyone know if Ron  La Clair's Archery Shoppe is open to the public at anytime? I am heading to Michigan in about 3 days. Thanks

Greg, Ron's shop is no longer open to the public.  He closed the shop a few years ago.  

The Model T longbow is a longer bow than the current Shrew line up.  It will come in 64 and 66 inch lengths and while still maintaining the forward handle like all Shrews the riser is a little longer and a little more beefy.  If you do a search there has been a few pictures posted of these bows.

Thanks Tim. I was hoping to get a new string for my Samurai while in Michigan.  I have a few places I plan on checking out.

Give Ron a call.  If he is around he is a great guy to just sit and talk to.

Any one else shoot the model T?  I haven't managed to get in touch with Ron yet.  I am looking for a longer bow that's fun to shoot. Shot a 62" ACS yesterday and it was nice.
