Short bows get a bad rap..I started with 48" recurves for a couple seasons..then 52" shrew for a while..now past two yrs 54" Shrew..its amazing what you can do with this short reflex\deflex style bow if you ask me..I just tried a 66" BlackWidow for a couple weeks..not for me..was so good to get back shooting my 54"Shrew..I don't think ill ever shoot another style of bow.

Quote from: mochasam on February 22, 2026, 01:39:38 AMVery pretty bow looks fun to shoot . I've never tried one and I've tried a few

I'm loving it! have always been a fan of smaller, lightweight bows, and this one appears to be the pinnacle of that style. only 52" in length, but smooth as butter at my 28" draw. was super easy to tune. massive fan of the grip. and even though short/light bows can be finicky, this one almost feels like it's "telling me" when my grip/release/follow through aren't good. I can sometimes torque the string when coming to my anchor point, and this bow practically says, "hold up. you're torquing!". it's very strange, and very cool! it's 100% the best I have ever had arrows tuned to any of my bows.

edit: so here's what ended up working best for this bow (a slight change after some bare-shaft work). 51#@ 28" draw. GoldTip Traditional 3555's  (.500 spine), cut to 30.5". point weight between 125-150 grains. regular aluminum inserts. Three 5" shield cut feathers. I added weight tubes from 3 Rivers to get to a 540 grain arrow. they fly great. and best of all, the most dead-on shots I had today were with broadheads, so that's awesome.

Quote from: bama on December 12, 2025, 05:46:29 PMLol, I came up with it and still make mistakes.    None worse though than when my wife flips because I left a spool in my pants and ir came out in the washer or dryer!

haha, Norm! nothing worse than an angry momma bear!

I have a 2"x2" piece of seal skin I've been hoarding for about 25 years. that said, most bowyers use fuzzy Velcro, and it works fine. have it on most of my bows.
