Drawlength recommendations for a Shrew
« on: June 23, 2008, 11:24:00 PM »
What is the recommended length on a Shrew for a 28" draw?  Classic Hunter and Super Shrew, thanks.

Depends what the length of the bow is?

Robtattoo, a member here on TG, had a 56" Super Shrew that was tillered for 28" and he shoots a 30" draw. He said it didn't stack too badly, if at all, for him. They're great bows!

What is your draw length?

Not to sound defensive Nige, but it was a 52" Classic hunter!  :D

At my 30" draw I was getting a little pinch, but very little stack! It just started to stiffen up very slightly in the last 1/2" or so, but maybe only an extra pound. Certainly not enough to worry about. At 28" it was as smooth as warm butter.

With a 28" draw, Ron would recommend any of the bows at any length, I'm sure. I personally cannot recommend the Shrew line highly enough (I've got another, slightly longer bow on order  ;)  )

Oh sorry, Rob. I thought it was a Super Shrew, and I didn't realize it was a 52" bow. For some reason I thought it was a 56"!      :D      They are awesome bows that come highly recommended!    :thumbsup:  

Hey Rob, it's a pity I'm missing your little get together with Andy and James today! Maybe next time mate.   ;)   It's a bit of a trek from my place to yours for one day!   :D   Have a good time mate!     :archer:

Like said before with a 28" draw you could shoot any bow in the Shrew lineup.  It would just depend on what you are looking for and what you wanted.
