Ron would probably recommend a 60" Super Shrew for your 30" draw. I draw about 29" with my 58" Samurai and it's comfortable. I'm keeping my eyes open for a 60" version too in the classified section.

I really like my SS Chameleon and Griffin...and my Grffin sure looks allot like your old one 4fletch...60" 56@26" boo core with maple veneers?  I think I shoot it better than my Chameleon that's 60" 53@28".  They are both great bows with the best grip out there...

a shooter just a little much my 29" draw.

MAN!! I want one bad.

What's the wait on a new one now?

There was one in the classifieds about a month ago that was 60" AMO, 53# @ 28" Limited Edition with a knife that went with it. PERFECT setup for me. I was about 5 minutes late finding it.  :knothead:  

Whoever bought that bow, let me know, and I will be glad to give your money back for it.  :thumbsup:

Thanks bentpole.

That's a long time. I would probley go crazy waiting on it.

I guess the best thing to do is order it, and try to forget about it.

Love the pictures, beautiful bows...Mike

Didn't that used to be my bow (at one time)?   :)

Shrews are very nice bows.

The 54" length should take a 29" draw without any problem. Even the 52" can be drawn that far but the string angle becomes pretty severe at that point.

Hey Vance, I'm having too much fun to retire    :archer:

"The Super Shrew with it's 16" riser dictates that we keep our bow  length  between 56" to 60".  What we have done with the "Shrew Classic"  is shorten the riser to 12" and redesign the limb to make a shorter 52" or 54" longbow.  People who like short bows for hunting are really going to like this little dynamo. "

Hmmmm, just think how sweet a short riser in a 56" bow would be for us gorilla draw guys.   ;)
