David, I think about that bow often. It was one of the most fun-to-shoot bows that I have ever owned. If you ever decide to sell it, please keep me in mind. I kick myself ofter for letting it go!

She's a sweetie for sure. I was sold when I took my first buck with it. The deer was really big bodied, and I remember right before I dropped the string in the back of my mind I was hearing 51#,only 51# (being used to 60#) as the arrow slipped though and the buck jumped but only ran a few steps. I sat there watching him as he looked around and reached to take a bite off a bush and started to stagger before going down while I thought yeah...51#.
 The reason I am wanting another is that the takedown would travel so well, plus I am traying to talk myself into a 54".
 I still like my recurves (even though they don't get shot as much) but really for a hunting bow the SCH pretty much has it all.

Wish I was left handed shooter. I would be all over Ron's bow like white on rice. Uh oh I may be getting infected with that mysterious shrew virus for which there is only one treatment.

Allen looks like you got a winner.  Always love reading the shrew threads.  If you shrew owners start a club, I vote Allan as historian (not that Ron needs any one to help).

The virus is spreading in me, so the CH is available in 56", site says 52 and 54. Drawing 29.5 I think I'd like the longer length. Any thoughts from you longer draw guys?

[Java Man]

katman,

A 56" would be perfect for you.

I have the 56" and love it, but everybody says the 54 is good for longer draws and a takedown 54" would really pack and travel well.

[J. Oles]

Dave,
I thought the same thing about the 54" vs the 56".  So I picked up one of each.  

For a 29" draw the 56 is the way to go.  You gain a lot of stability over the 54" offering.

Thanks Java Man, now I just need to shoot one before I commit to a take down, some common sense kicking in. Very few trad shooters here. Wonder if there is a loaner program for those not making it to a big shoot?

Dang, Them Shrew bows are all over the place.  I love all of mine too!  This is my travel bow bolt CH...Doc

 

[youngarcher1]

stunning.

[jonsimoneau]

Beautiful bow.  I've never had the chance to shoot one...but hope to some day.

What a gorgeous bow!  I really like the look of the quiver as well.  Is that a quiver that Ron sells?  I'm a lefty that shoots a righty bow with my left hand.  I need a quiver that is tall enough to slide my right hand under.

I know that there is just the right bow for each archer, but for me I can't imagine anyone not enjoying Shrews.

Have you ever considered switching to a LH bow? Shooting a RH bow left handed makes it hard it keep the arrow on the shelf unless you might be rotating your wrist so that the back of your hand is against your face..   :confused:  ..at any rate it's not the best method for good shooting.

Yeah man Ive sure been afflicted.     This is "Five-Oh" and its a nasty little stick.

Nope, I'm not rotating my wrist and yes, I've tried switching to LH.  Doesn't work, can't keep the arrow on the shelf no matter what I try.  

I was probably 11 when my dad drug home a green fiberglass 45 lb. stick bow. He didn't know how to shoot it, but he knew I'd been wanting one. Now, this is in the 70's, with no internet and nobody around to show me how to use a bow. So, I fooled around with it for a few weeks and figured out a way to shoot that worked well for me.

And I am accurate with the way I shoot.  I'm left handed, left eye dominant and it never made sense to put the arrow on the right side of the bow. On the left side of the bow the hand/eye/shelf are all on the same side.  

It's fun to walk into a sporting goods store and ask to shoot a bow. The look on their face when I shoot a righty left handed, and right on into the target is like:    :eek:

Thanks for posting the pics on the quiver Ron. That one looks like it could just work! I'm guessing it's one of the ones over on your site?

I'm not trying to be condescending but...  It just ain't natural..
