Wow, Tim...what a collection! Especially love that tulipwood.  Great pic of your Osage in the snow, Bob.  Geeze, a year is sounding really long now.    :help:

I ordered one (classic hunter)with carbon limbs.  Anyone think that was a mistake?  The riser will be mostly osage and of course the carbon limbs are black.  Cost +$100.  Now I am second guessing whetrher it will be pretty, loud, etc.

No experience with carbon..... but I offer the following:

(1) I Don't think Ron/Gregg would sell/produce something that wasn't first rate.

(2) see #1 above.....

I have shot one of the Carbon Classics and they are great bows.  Even smoother that the non carbons (if that is possible) and still whisper quiet.  I think you will like your Shrew with or without the carbon so which ever way would be fine.

You know I am not really sure I have a favorite one.  I thought the Samurai was, then the Lil' Favorite took over when I started shooting that for Turkey season, now the 58" Scout is pretty close.  So I think it is the bow that I am shooting is my favorite.  That is the nice thing about owning different bows with the same grip.  You can switch all you want and it doesnt seem to affect your shooting.

I've had a shrew long bow for 13 months. My posts are the last two in 2007 high lights,  A 5x5 elk and a news years eve white tail. Also a spring bear in 2008 high lights.  I love my shrew long bows (got 2)

Ordered a Classic Hunter earlier this week ... for those really *tight* antelope BLIND hunts.  :D  

I dunno why I'd be laughing - I'm still agonizing over that speed goat miss in Wyoming.    Ack!    :eek:

Thanks Tim.We went for a walk today.It's as fun to carry as it is to shoot.I also sat in an antelope blind for a couple hours this morning.Three bucks waltzed by at 25 feet but I only have a doe tag.I'm dying to take a shot with this thing.

Really like those arrows, Jim...what kind/color are they?  They look too bright to be red.

Thanks to all for pics of your Shrews...wish I could say that it will make the year go by quicker.   :banghead:    ;)

I have two Super Shrews, the first is what Ron called a "Red- Line" its 56" Grey action wood with a grey laminated riser with a red strip of glass [like the widow's] running full length between the lams 56# @ 27 [58 1/2 @ 28 where I use it]. Bow #2 is a Super Shrew "SP" 58" 55#@28 Brown Action Wood with brown Diamond Wood Riser which you will never see, as it's at Sipsy River as I write being camo dipped.  Can't wait to get it back.  Has anyone else ever had a the ca_ones to have theirs dipped ? and If so how did you like the results?

I have two Shrew Calssic Hunters and my wife has the Shrew Deluxe. To me there is no need to own another bow unless I get a take down Classic Hunter   :D
