Griffin Longbow Pictures
« on: January 04, 2012, 10:21:00 AM »
My name has come up on John's list for a new Griffin Longbow.

I am going to be ordering a 64" Left Handed Bow 45#@28" with an I-Beam Riser.

As far as wood choices I am leaning towards Walnut and Maple but am really having a hard time deciding.

Could you guys who own Griffins or Shrews please post some pictures of your bows with descriptions of the woods used?

Thanks    :thumbsup:

Cmon' guys, where are the photos of the shrews and griffins?  I would love to see these photos as well and I know they are out there as long as the wait is for them.  I will hopefully be ordering in the summer so I too would love to see them!  Tenbrook, how long did you wait on the list?  JWilliam, that is one fine looking CH.  I love zebrawood, I have a thunderstick with zebra and my sons Maddog we just ordered him will have zebrawood.

I am also on John's list.  I've been on for a while.  Is there anyone out there with his contact information, I can't seem to find it.

I have an all kingwood 64" with natural bamboo cores.I have had 6-7 griffins.This is the nicest one i have had.Built in 2010.It does not have an I beam.But if it did it would be very strong/stiff riser and add some mass weight with a black Phonolic or micarta I  beam.Sorry I cant post pics.Its a knockout!

Here is another shrew safari that I got recently.  Hate to admit it, but I like the veneers on the one Ron posted better.

Ron~  Do you have any photos of Shrews in black/white, dalmation, or striped ebony?  Don't think I have ever seen that combo on a CH or Lil' Favorite?  Please post if you do!!
