The Shrew epidemic is very dangerous and contagious as of right now there is no known cure to mankind  :D  .

I too had no intension of buying a bow, but as I passed the Shrew booth I felt a trance like come over me and something lured me over to the booth. Finally when I came to I had a new 55lb curley maple Shrew in my hands.

Great looking bow. I've never shot a Shrew, in fact I've never seen one in Texas. Something tells me that if Ron ever shows up in the Lone Star state I'll be doing just what you did. I've got the Longhunter shirt just no Shrew to go with it.  :thumbsup:

I have a LiL Favorite with bowbolt in the mail somewhere between the mainland and Guam and a Samurai with bowbolt on order. Cannot wait to get both.

Hey Ron, what kind of strings did you have on those Shrews at the show.  They looked as thin as piano wire.

Burnsie  
The string that comes with the bow is of 450+ material.  This is a high performance string much like fast flight but with less noise.  It is a very strong string being 150# per strand as opposed to a Dacron string which is 55# per strand.  The 6 or 8 (depending on the bows weight) strand may look weak and flimsy but it is a 900 to 1200# string, the equivalent to an 18 strand Dacron.  You may use any other type string you wish on your Shrew but the 450+ is what I like and recommend. If you use any other high performance string such as fast flight or other HP string material , the strings loops MUST be padded or doubled.

That is for sure!!  I am up to 5 now with another one on order.  I just picked the 5th on up at Kzoo.  The way I look at it though if all of my bows have the same handle then it wont matter what one I take hunting.  I can take a different one every time and still know how and where it is going to shoot!!
