Comptons Shoot Shrew
« on: June 20, 2009, 10:20:00 PM »
Just got home from Comptons and what a trip. Got there Thursday evening and the rain came. And not just a little,it was a storm. Rained again Friday and the Big Tent was blown down somtime in the night. Big hats off to the folks that run Comptons, they were busy as beavers and everyting came off as good as it could. Spirits were high even with the weather. Kids playing in the mudd was a sight to see. Then I saw Greg C. and Ron L. I made jumped on the chance to shoot a Classic Hunter with foam and carbon limbs. This bow is scaled 57# at 28in. Feels like a lot less draw weight. Spits an arrow and shots so well I could not believe it. If you have a bow on order with  Ron I would no doubt get the caron foam limb. Can't say enough good about the bow. Koa wood limb over the carbon lams. You just have to shoot one to believe.

Thanks for your opinions on the carbon foam Shrew.  Sent Ron an email last week and changed my order for my classic hunter to carbon and foam core. Cannot wait to get it.  The little classic hunter has become my favorite bow.

You won't be disappointed. I still think the bamboo is great, but the foam core and carbon backing will impress you.

I also shoot that same bow.....   :eek:   It sure didn't feel like 57#

I wish I would have been a little quicker, rather than pondering on buying it. It was sold less than 10min after I shot it    :mad:   Now I'll have to wait a whole year.

Oh Kevin whats a year?? I am glad I got it when I did. Everytime I shoot it I am still in awe. I think this one takes me out of the market. Well my wife says so anyway. LOL

I shot that same Shrew also, and I'll have to agree, it didn't feel like 57#'s. Felt more like about 48 to 50 #'s. Very impressive.
