Getting schooled by the Java Man/Gregg Coffey Elkhart

Thanks onewhohasfun.  I forgot to check it last night, but will do so this evening.

Fantastic looking sticks. Yep your reluctance to try the new bows of today have kept you in the dark. Pick up a Centaur and let me know how you like that. Today's Reflex Deflex Longbows have it all.

Those are gorgeous looking bows. After looking at the java man website I have a feeling my next bow will be one of theirs. Would love to see some more pictures.

I have not only tried many new bows/hybrids, I have owned them. And not only am I familiar with Jim's bows, I have been to his shop as my in-laws live in Hamilton, MT. That was the point of my thread. I tried/owned them, and didn't care for them, until Gregg's Elkhart.

So does that apply to the Shrews that Gregg made for Ron too?  Are there profound differences  between the Elkhart and Shrew?  I almost ordered and Inferno, but picked up a used Gregg built Shrew and have seen no reason to order another bow.  This thing shoots!

Bow on the left.  Sorry about the poor resolution.

So I guess this means it was built by Gregg in Sept '05.  It's a great bow....think I'll go shoot it this afternoon!

The Elkhart is a different bow. I have shot many Shrews over the years, and the Elkhart is in a category by itself, in my opinion.

Gregg Coffee is in a category of his own as a Bowyer. First class through and through!!!

Gregg is top notch, no doubt! As a matter of fact, I just got an email from him today saying that I'm next on the list!!! This will be my fourth Gregg Coffey bow. And I still own the other three.

Is there a difference between a super shrew and an Elkheart? Yes! Everything you love about the shrew, but more refined and improved! The inferno is also a great shooting bow, and is the best hunter I have yet to take afield. I shot both the inferno and Elkheart at k-zoo last year, and bought the inferno. But the way the Elkheart shot has not left my mind. Blonde or brunette tonight? Guess I want them both. Lol.
