Shrew Safari is here
« on: July 06, 2011, 08:49:00 AM »
The "Shrew Safari" was inspired by Allan DeVore after his successful hunt for a record book Asian Water Buffalo. Allan is the one who named this bow the Safari.

This particular bow which has the Bow-Bolt take down feature was made for Doug Burns who accompanied Allan on his recent hunt. It has a limb core of bamboo, carbon and mystery core. The striking limb veneers are curly bubinga. It has a solid phenolic riser, buffalo horn limb tips and it also has buffalo horn overlays on the riser riser. The length is 60" and the weight is 70#@ 30"

I have no doubt that this bow is destined for some exciting adventures in the not to distant  future.

What a beauty!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Don't give me any credit, Allan DeVore is the man who was the inspiration behind the bow and Gregg Coffey is the talent that brought it to life.   :archer:

That's beautiful. The horn overlays next to the dark figured limbs just screams AFRICA.

Am I still on the list buddy????  :p   Dang that's a beauty. Those veneers are pretty stunning.

 I'm a little jealous that Allan is getting to name bows now, I thought that was the Shrew Crews job?  ;)
