I'm on the list for a Classic Hunter
« on: November 26, 2009, 10:14:00 AM »
well..I took the plunge and got on the waiting list for a Shrew CH.  PLENTY (14 mos) of time before I get the bow but now my mind is racing with anticipation!!  I have never shot a longbow before (only recurves) so i am curious on how I will need to modify my shooting...if at all.  Since it will be a while before I get it, I figured I can at least talk about it.  
  :banghead:  
Any feedback?

 Happy Thanksgiving all!!

You are gonna be just fine! I think the Shrew grip design is one of the best out there. Gotta tell me... How are ya going to get any sleep the next 14 months?  :D

You guys are crazy waiting 14 months for a bow! I just couldn't do it so got on the 12 month waiting list for a new 54" Centaur longbow instead!    :D    I already have a few Shrew bows myself fine shooting and worth the wait.

Hey Greg,
 I'm on the shrew waiting list also, just last week. I picked up a Samuria off of the classifieds from a member here and loved it. I didn't have to modify anything, that grip just fit my hand and I went to work. Man, I love this bow!
 We may have to find a Shrew waiting list support group. It's gonna be a long 14 months.

I shoot my 56" Classic Hunter as good or
better than any of my old recurves. You
will not have any trouble switching over
to a Shrew Longbow.

I'm currently waiting on my second Classic
Hunter.

All the good things said about the Classic Hunter are true. Don't worry about changing your shooting style. I just let a couple of friends shoot my CH in hunting camp a few days ago and they were shooting well after just a few minutes. They have not shot trad bows in quite awhile and then shot only recurves.

Hay KB I have two Hill Style longbows  a northern mist classic 66" 55# I beleive, and a John McDonald Big River 68" 57#. Your more than welcome to try one of them for the next 14 months it might take some of the pain away. I can ship it out.
