Overcome by a Shrew in Kalamazoo
« on: January 28, 2008, 09:41:00 PM »
I had no intention of bringing home a new bow this year from Kalamazoo...but, I'm weak.  I've admitted I have a problem but I've never made an effort to find out what the next step is.  So here it is.  Shrew Classic Hunter, 54" 48lbs @ 28".  Strung she measures 52.5" tip to tip.  This bow is just plain fun to shoot.  My daughters have named it "Baby Bow."

The first step is to admit your problem.
 The second is to go out and buy another one,LOL! Congrats on a great bow!
Just one more step please!

I'd have to say that's the prettiest Shrew I've seen in a while.

Scott, Slid the quiver down farther on the riser. It should be past the fadeouts.

Ya right!  Who is going to believe that you had no intentions of coming home with a new bow!  You go to a show and it is a prerequisette to come home with one.  Proud of you man simply proud of you.

Nice bow!!! When I was there Friday nght, it was difficult to get up to the table.  Mr. LaClair looked awful busy!  You bought a beautiful bow, man!

Nice looking bow.  I to was overcome by the Shrew bug.  I will try and post pics on my new one I picked up at K-zoo.  But the one thing to watch out about those Shrews is they are very addicting!!

Scott...that bow almost followed me home.

Instead, ordered one with same specs to be the "little sister" to my first Shrew: shadow grey limbs with Black and White fadeouts. Be our third set of Father/Son Shrews...

I shot one while I was in K-Zoo as well.  Dead shooters those Shrews.  Accurate and wicked silent.  Congrats on the new bow!!
