My new Shrew!!!! (about time)
« on: January 19, 2008, 11:36:00 AM »
I have been wanting a Shrew LB for some time now and finally got my hands on one.  This is a new-to-me Shrew Samurai 58" 53@28.


Shoots soooooo sweet!!!!  The grip is very consistant and fits my hand like a glove!  This could be the perfect bow...  :saywhat:

I've got one on a UPS truck somewhere in Texas. Hopefully I will have Tuesday. How does it shoot?

Not too shabby I would say...

It just plain fun to shoot!!!

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Mark -

There is a 3-d shoot indoor down in town that I was wanting to go to... I havn't decided what I will do yet.

I know I said I would ttry and make it but...

My wait was about 1 week, as I bought it off the classifieds here.  :D

Nice bow, maybe the best grip out there for hybrids.  Melts in your hand.

Does your bow have the standard 6 or 8 strand 450+ Shrew string on it? Maybe the photo just makes it look thicker than normal.  If not then you might want to consider getting or making one...the thinner string makes a BIG difference in feel and performance for Shrews.  A 10-strand D97 will also work pretty well.

Enjoy!

TSP

I put a new FF string from 3 Rivers. I believe it is an 18 strand.  It was lying around and was the correct length, so I put it on, since the string that came on it was in bad need of replacment.  

Where is the best place to get a 450+ string?  Shrew??

Thanks

Jake
