Well I called Ron today and placed
an order for a new Super Shrew Deluxe.
But, I don't what woods to have it made
from. Any ideas out there? Pics and comments would be very helpful.
           Thanks

The Chameleon laminations they have been using lately are AWESOME.

I keep waiting for some of you Shrew "hoarders" to cough-up some of your Shrews on the classifieds.  I'm starting to think I'm going to have to place an order if I want one ...    :)

Ray,

Have you shot a "Classic" yet?  I liked it a LOT, much more so than the lil fav'...that would make quite a bow for the turkey blind.  I am trying to get the Ol' Man to remember I have been on "the list" for a LONG time now...  ;)  

Not having much luck!

I shot the Classic quite a bit in Kzoo. It is a SUPER bow. Very quick, no hand shock at all. I really love shooting a longbow. I think a Classic with snakeskins would be awesome.


My Little Favorite is working out nicely..one of the things I like about it is that it points and shoots like a long bow...and I mean that in a good way. I have shot it for a week now, and I swear I haven't sent a bad arrow downrange yet.

Steve,

No, I didn't get to shoot one of the classics, but would love to. I hear ya on Ron's mind/steel trap. I highly doubt you're going to convince him.  :rolleyes:  

I'm going to patiently wait for my "JC" bow. Over a year out, but it'll be a dandy.
