Shrew Hawks
« on: January 25, 2010, 12:17:00 AM »
I am thinking hard about getting a Shrew hawk. Those if you who have them,  tell me about them. Does anyone use the Frontiersman sheath with it?

I have a few hawks but you can never have too many.
Thanks

I have the belt sheath and don't like it. I am going to try and pick up a Frontiersman at Kalamazoo this next weekend.

Just got one for my birthday with the regular sheath.  Wore it Saturday night (on my waist) while out still-hunting for whitetails and it worked just fine.

It occurs to me that you could simulate the frontiersman sheath by running a loop of paracord through the belt sheath and hanging it over your neck and under your pit.  Might do that before my next outing to see how that goes.

As to the Shrew Hawk itself - that thing is cool!  It took a bit longer than expected for it to come in the mail but Ron sent my mom (who ordered it for me :-D ) a note explaining that his blacksmith was working on it.

Don't know about you guys, but I think there is something way cool about getting a weapon that was worked by a blacksmith.  I like it!

They are really sweet.  I have had mine for a few years and it works great.  I use it a lot for quick throwing together a brush blind while out hunting.  I have the belt sheath but I threw it on the strap of my possibles bag and it works awesome.

Nice looking, I have heard tough as nails, and they come for a really fair price. I am going to have to talk Ron into a trade one of his for one of mine.  I need to add one to my personal collection.

I ordered my Shrew Hawk and Frontiersman sheath last week. Ron is running low on his stock and needs some for Kalamazoo, and his blacksmith stays busy on other projects much of the time, so it may be awhile before I get mine. It will still get here far sooner than the next two Shrew bows I just ordered! The advantage of ordering the Hawk now is that it will be here in plenty of time for the main hunting season this coming fall. The Hawk sure looks nice and I am certain it will perform as good as it looks.

Joe,
I have all summer and nothing to do. What have you been up to? Two years ago I killed a beaver with one of my hawks. Thought I might try out a different style.

I love my Shrew Hawk.  I have used it for all kinds of tasks.  I use the belt sheath and it has worked fine so far.  How you decide to carry it is up to you, but you will use it a lot.
