going by who sold it to Ken and by the pix, I say yes... But if it was just weighed at 28" I guess that's the true weight. I don't know what to say. The only thing different in the bow is Someone re-added a leather grip on the handle, but that wouldn't add weight.

The owner before me could have wrote it on there wrong. I could've even read it wrong and it could've been 66#.... What ever the weight is, It's still a great little bow with a big Heart. She will do you good.

I don't know what was on this bow from the start, but I shoot 51-54# all the time..those are my go to bows. This old girl is stiff, I won't even try to go to full draw in fear of hurting myself..lol. I watched Ken shoot it last night and he was doing well with it, so more power to him!!!

Way to go Ken! New stuff is nice; but, to see someone truly appreciate character, lines, beauty, style, & grace may be nicer.

Sal has it right. I got this Shrew from him and loved it from the start. Was a bit heavy for me to shoot all day stumping or for 3D. Jamie was interested so... He got her... Was a bit heavy for him and now He Man Ken is in love. Great story with a happy ending. Glad to be a part of it.

Thanks Sal!
Thanks Jamie!
Thanks Chris!
Thanks Ron!
Best Of Luck With "She Beast" Ken!

when Chris handed me this bow i felt something stirring with in it. i felt a hunger, a need want to hunt and eat, a need to run through the mountains, a quiet yet undeniable yern to kill. this is what i felt, this is the only way i can explain it. i will do all i can to indulge her in these needs. i have not felt a bow talk to me like this, closest thing was a bamboo fly rod i had made for me. caught a brook trout on the FIRST cast, i kid you not!!! this bow speaks loud and its ringing in my ears, stirs the soul! talk about mojo holy cow huh!!!!!!
  I am not one in to the whole i NEED to shoot a high poundage bow crap. i feel no need for that, it chose me i firmly believe as did a Martin ML 10 that pulss 65@28. i have no problem with stout bows its just the way it is. as my dad told me you ain't to smart buit you can lift heavy objects, you will be ok son!
 Sal,
      PLEASE email me with any and all storys you have of hunting with this bow as well as any pic's. i did take of the leather handle as the wood just felt right to me and the fit is awesome! i wanted to add wool string silencers but its shoots so well for me i'm not going to change the rubber ones. the case is still with it and looks AWESOME!!!! who made it? i eblieve in things like this and i believe she has been waiting to come home to the Adirondacks! i'll be taking MANY pictures of our adventures.

Ken, I got the case from Texas when I lived there and was hunting with smoke pole, It too has seen lots of meat. Sorry but since everything is packed for my move this coming Friday I don't have any other pix then the ones I posted.

I know what you mean when you say She talks to You. That is why I got her in the first place.

Ken, Mike did show you the fine print right   :readit:  You kill, You send some meat...  :thumbsup:  Also, when I'm able to get some hunting spots You & the Bow are more then welcome to come & hunt down in Tejas..

Hmmmmm! Ken buys bow, bow has history and talks to the soul. Bow gets cool name and prior owner says come too Tejas and hunt with me.

Dang! What am I doing Wrong?   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

If this bow has so much mojo, I hope my cleaning it up didn't take anything away. Maybe I should rub it on myself to change my luck...lol!! Well its done Ken so you can come and get it anytime!
