Shawnee grip dilema fixed!
« on: June 11, 2010, 11:06:00 AM »
I purchased my 1st Shawnee about 8 months ago and loved the bow from the get go.....everything except the low grip it had... The 50# @ 28" C carbon/foam longbow limbs were unlike anything I'd ever shot.  Some times I could pick up this bow and pound my shaft nocks together....I could pull the shafts, grab the handle and fall to pieces shooting wildly all over...My GIANT hands just couldn't find a sweet spot in that grip concistanty......I even listed the bow on the classifieds for a few hours one day and pulled it at the advice of Bowhunter4Life saying to give it a little more time...

Well I purchased a B riser Med grip w/ C boo 53# @27" curve limbs about 2 months ago w/ all intentions of matching the limbs up w/ my A riser and selling it......what I didn't expect was that the combo of that B riser w/ my C longbow limbs would be ideal for my long draw and that the combining that A/low riser w/ the higher poundage curve limbs would become my "go to" bow... I don't really understand why the grip fits me so much better w/ the high poundage curve limbs, but this combo is going to be a killer in the tree stand this season...I think I could shoot it blindfolded.  And fast doesn't do it justice...Smoke at my close to 29" draw.
Best of all...my beautiful wife said...."don't worry babe....keep them both."  God love her.

Really lucked out as the curve lims have Macassaar Ebony trim that matches the riser Macassar perfectly!

I don't want to say I told you so, but...    :bigsmyl:

Yeah Jeff you were correct and thanks again..., but I'm shocked that a limb combo change would make a grip fit my hand.....I'd have never guessed that in a million years....
I'm anxiously waiting for Sept as my goal is to take at least one deer w/ each of my 4 "keeper" bows. and surely there will be multiple deer die to the new Morison recurve combo.
