New Zebrawood Super Shrew

[wyatts daddy]

excuse my stupidity what is the other wood used?

[heydeerman]

I have a Classic Hunter on order and saw the zebrawood veneers on Rons site. I'll proly go with them. Z-wood looks awesome. I had an all zebrawood Assenheimer a few years ago that was an awesome looker.

[JC]

Thanks guys, this one is so good I'm thinning the ranks on the rack.

Bill, the other wood is ziricote: it ranges from a deep black to light brown.

Joe,

That is a georgous looking Shrew. I love the double stripe.

[AnointedArcher]

JC that is truly a work of art, I could not agree more about Ron & Gregg, top notch people in my book.

Like heydeerman I ordered the Clasic Hunter and I found that to be extremely fast. Matter of fact I was shooting wit a guy trying a new Black Widow and another guy shooting a new Bob Lee and I heard people talking about the speed of that Classic Hunter.

However like you stated, it just felt right in my hands and the arrow went where I pointed it.
I can hardly stand the wait before my bow gets here!

I saw the zebrawood veneer on Ron's site and am definitely considering picking up a Shrew.  I just have to figure out how to get approval from the wife.    :D    Sweet bow for sure JC!

Matt,

Ron has been married to a sweatheart of a wife for approximately 50 years. He has a longstanding proverb when it comes to bows and spouses:

"It's easier to ask for forgiviness, that it is to ask for permission."     :eek:        

If you ask me, I'd say that's a marketing proverb that he came up with when he started making the Super Shrews that are a must have for everyone.     :rolleyes:

P.S.-Ron's a sweetheart on the phone with the ladies, so if you ask me, call Ron with your specs, then have your spouse call Ron and he'll pretend he knows just what would be a good surprise for a loving husband.  If this fails, see proverb #1 above.   :D

[heydeerman]

My 1st wife tore me up every time I bought a bow. I told my new wife I wanted to order a new bow and she said I could only if I got her one too. She also has a Shrew on order.

[Dalebow]

Very Nice bow indeed!!!

[vermonster13]

Wow did you trade up Jim!

[Ron LaClair]

Ray, it'll be 48 years the 28th of this month, we've still got a couple more years until the big 5 0    
She IS a Sweetheart and a gentle soul...until you put a bow or gun in her hands, then she turns killer      :D

I'm glad you like the bow JC, We not only aim to please but also to please your aim.    

[Dawn Patrol]

JC,That is a great looking bow and if shoots as good as the two I have you will love it.And as far as speed,I got a six and an eight point this season that believe it is pretty fast. Tom

[Roy Stroh]

Pretty bow.    

[Legolas]

Mr.Laclair,
These bows sure have a forward riser.Would you explain what that does/why you do that? How does it feel compared to conventional configurations?

Thanks.

Paul

MaNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! sweet buddy!      

[Roger Norris]

Not speaking for Ron, and I'm sure thier is a more technical answer, but for me, the forward handle enhances "pointability" My Shrews are easier than any other bow to shoot in hunting situations (for me).

[vermonster13]

A forward handle helps bring stability to a bow. Lessens any hand torque by moving the fulcrum point forward. Or as Roger says, makes the bow more pointable, and in a shorter style bow like these it is an advantage to have it as stable as possible. It is a very sound design. I am sure Ron can fill in the gaps, but that's the journeyman's answer.
