Amazing how a turkey can stop an arrow that will zip thru a moose!

I do not own a Shrew, but I remember the first time I picked one up...I also remember how much power that little bow stored. So many bows, so little time.

Congrats on the bow AND the bird!

Thanks guys...next week I'll be after bird #2. I knew busting a tom with trad equipment would be awesome. It is right up there with the thrill of elk hunting. You just get a little more meat with the elk.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That's awesome Lyle..      :thumbsup:    It looks like your older Shrew still has some Mojo left it it..     :D    

Our season here in Michigan opens Monday the 23rd. I've got a new turkey bow that's just itching to get out there. I've named the new 52" Classic "Tuck" because it's short length can be tucked in almost anywhere.

Congrats on the new bow and the turkey! I've never shot a Shrew but that is on my bucket list    :pray:

Ron,

That looks like a great set up and another amazing bow...I hope you kill one of those monster yankee gobblers. I sure wish you were coming to the Tenn. Classic this year...how about if I swing up and pick you up? lol

In my blind there was no way to maneuver even a 64in. bow...in fact my buddy tried shooting his out of a blind and the arrow hit the bottom of the window and came straight back and nailed him 1 in. below his eye. With the Shrew I had room to spare.  

Jon, if you ever even pick up a Shrew you'll want one...and when you shoot one, you'll want a whole herd of them like many of these guys on Tradgang.

Raghorns,
it makes me happy to see that after that bow sat in it's tube for so many years.  I am going to guess that you are happy with it.  Hope your Hunting Buddy treats you good for years to come.

BlandingBowman,

Yeah...The little guy came out of the tube ready to hunt. It really likes the CE 350's with 250 grains up front. It actually draws 70 lbs. @ 28 in. Really packs a punch...It will probably go with me to hunt elk this year.

Thanks again Sean for getting it to me in time to get acquainted before turkey time.

I hope your wife is liking that old Super Shrew 'Lite'.  That was one of Gregg's first bows he made for my son years ago. That little favorite recurve-I just like the Shrew longbows better. I've got a 58" Samurai and a 60" custom deluxe.  I'm thinking that a CH should be in the arsenal.....hmmmmmm.
I like the Shrew longbows better too, but there is still a soft spot in my heart for the Lil' Favorites, which is why I have three of them. My wife does like the Super Shrew Lite -- it is a great little bow, even if it doesn't quite measure up to the latest bows Gregg is building. We enjoy seeing your son's name on the bow and knowing its history!
