Lower 40# Shrew Owners,I need your help
« on: August 05, 2007, 05:19:00 AM »
I currently have a Thunderstick MOAB 51#@26" and I am wanting to go down In the low 40# range. And I want a 52" or 54" shrew longbow for groundblind hunting.Do you prefer the recurve or longbow models in the Shrews.Does one draw easier than the other? Thanks for the input.

I own a higher weight bow, but did try a longbow in the 40# range and draw just like mine (easier pull tho). what do you like longbows or recurves? If you have a long bow now why not just get a long bow?

David,

I think you would like Classic in a 52".  They are very quick and draw very smooth as well.

Here's my 52" Shrew Classic Hunter. It worked great in the blind during turkey season.

Well I have a 58" shrew longbow and shoot it out of a Double Bull blind with no problem. And yes that bow in Ron's hand does look like a toy but I'm not telling him that. lol Mike

David - you can't go wrong with the Classic Hunter.  I have shot and owned many great bows but this by far is the best. The Classic hunter is a Longbow but shoots better than any recurve I have owned and trust me I have owned a few.

If you make it to GLLI you can give my bow a test try and see what you think!
