Got a question....how do the bows of 'today' compare to a 2002 Samurai in performance?
Terry, the old Shrew Samurai is a great bow. John McCullough was making them in 2002. The Bow Forms that Gregg is currently using is a little different than Johns forms in that they have more reflex in the limb. The added reflex may only make a slight difference but I think the materials that we're using today, carbon,foam,mystery core,.. all contribute to a bow with better performance than the bows we were making 8 to 10 years ago.
I couldn't give you a number in FPS without doing some testing but from my own experience and from customer feedback I can say that the Shrew bows of today are the best we have made to date.
