Im finally gonna do it!
« on: January 22, 2012, 08:09:00 PM »
I have been wanting a shrew for along time, well I just filled out the order form and wrote a check for a deposit. Im ordering a 60" chamelion(sp) in brown camo. Now the waiting begins. I cant wait! I figure the 60" bow would be best for my long draw. 31" with a recurve, probly 30 with a long bow.

Paul, you are getting the right length IMO.  Ron and Gregg will not let you order the wrong length.

I like the brown Camo.  Mine is only 58" but it works OK.    ;)

Maybe the best pure hunting bow that I've owned. The grip is outstanding. The length is very "woods friendly".

RW,  With all due respect...I have no idea if you're kidding or not. Given some of your past history with posts and threads...I really honestly don't know?

But will you please show some respect for us parents that are trying to raise our kids right and would never say anything like that to them even when kidding around.

Let's not forget...a lot of us have young, up and coming, impressionable bowhunters that like to surf around Trad Gang to learn not only how to be a better woodsman, hunters, and archers...but also how to become fine, young repectful citizens.

I'm leaving your post above this one unedited for now, in hopes that you will edit it yourself after you see things from my/our perspective....

Don't be afraid of going short on these bows
They shoot great short under 60"

I draw 29" and I love my 60" Super Shrew.  The 56" Classic Hunter has been very successful with long draw folks too. It has a shorter riser than the regular Super Shrew.  For me it's one or the other.

Paul,

The stained curly maple and birch make beautiful bows. Order another one 4-5 months in and then you'll have a shorter wait after the first one arrives.  They're kind of like Lays potato chips.    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
