Well, I am convinced!!! I called Ron today and he helped me find the perfect Shrew for me. I ordered a 56" Classic Hunter with the bow bolt option. In about a year I should be getting a superb bow delivered to me -- hopefully in time for the fall hunting season. This will be my short hunting bow that will be particularly useful for hunting out of commercial ground blinds where long limbs can be a problem. Ron thinks it may become my favorite bow, but it will face some very serious competition.

I have spoken to no finer gentleman than Ron LaClair. He absolutely deserves his sterling reputation.

Thanks guys. I am not sure what club I am a member of yet -- maybe the "People Waiting To Be Shrew Owners Club"! I will be glad to join you in about a year, but right now I am like an expectant father with a long gestation period yet to go. If I don't like the bow, I am blaming all of you. Just kidding. I am sure I will love the bow.

Tim and Bob,

There is probably no way you are going to get the bow unless you buy it from my widow, but here are the specs anyway: 56" Classic Hunter, black linen phenolic riser with the bow bolt takedown option, brown curly birch limb veneers, stag limb tips, 50 to 52 pounds (I gave Ron a couple of pounds to work with) at my draw length of 29 1/2". That would be about 58 pounds at Bob's draw length and I don't know Tim's draw length, not that it matters since neither of you are likely to ever get it. :-)

Allan, that sounds like a beaut!!  Good luck on the wait ahead.  I know it seems like a long time but it will be done before you know it.    :thumbsup:

I can only hope Gregg hits the weight right the first time so BobW doesn't end up with my bow. :-) I appreciate all the encouragement. It ought to be a great bow. Like Terry, I expect it will be my thicket and blind bow also. Ron LaClaire thinks it will be my everything bow. He may be right. He certainly helped me pick nice looking bow. Of course, his personal Classic Hunter looks a lot like the one I ordered, so he had some time to think about what he thought looked good in a Shrew. I hope all of you enjoy your Shrews, and I look forward to joining you as an actual owner next year.

Hey David,
My 54" Classic Hunter in green chameleon will also be done soon.  I also ordered stag tips as well.  What draw weight is yours?  Do they all come with a leather grip or is it an extra?
