Shrew Scout
« on: September 29, 2007, 08:37:00 PM »
I have shot just about everythig out there, but never a Scout. I love a real forward handle and I have a Scout coming. It is coming from Denmark, so it will be a while. What ya'all think. 58"er and going up a bit in weight 56#s since my shoulder is healing nicely. Pics. are welcome too! Shawn

HI Shawn,
I was blessed to be able to buy one of Ron's personal Scout Recurves last year. This will be my first chance to hunt hair instead of the foam I have been hunting all spring and summer with it. It is 58" 55lb @ 28. I plan on driving some Treesharks and WW thru some ribcages soon !!! I just put a Eagles Flight 4 arrow quiver on it and now I am even more in love with it ! And the whole time I thought I was cursed by being a lefty, haha !!! As you know Ron is a lefty too. I will treasure and hunt with this bow Good Lord willing for the next 30 years or so, and then pass it to another lefty. Love them Shrews !

Shawn, the Scout is one of my favorties for sure. Here's a 60", 49# at 27", antler backing on riser and antler tips  (ebony and osage).

You are going to love it!

I thought they came in 58 and 60" only. I would like a 56"er for sure! I hope to have it for my vacation the first two weeks in Nov. Shawn

I have had problems shooting light mass weight bows in the past,(Heck I barly pass off acceptable shooting with a  heavy 3-piece) but sure do like how a trim little one piece recurve looks.  

The Shrew Scout and Little favorite are two off the beast looking bows I have ever seen. Maybe one day!

I'll enjoy reading your posts on it Shawn!

I have a Shrew Lil' Favorite and I hope to order a Scout someday.  They are one of the best light weight recurves around.

Heres mine. It is an absolutely beautiful bow, that I will never get rid of. It killed the first 3 deer I drew on the year I got it. It's been signed by Ron LaClair, Fred Asbell, and Glenn St Charles.

Since I got my Lil Favorite this spring, it has kind of been "retired", just becuase the LF shoots so perfect.
