I have been tempted yet again
« on: April 27, 2015, 01:45:00 PM »
I have truly resisted a bunch on buying bows. Yeah, got 4 Schafer Silvertips on the rack and one on order, but have been resisting the classifieds. Until today when a sweet looking vixen caught my eye and heart on another site and I could not resist. So a 2011 Gregg Coffey Super Shrew is on the way to me, 60", 59#@28" bow bolt takedown, macassar ebony limbs.

Nice!

Danny, Congrats on the new bow! I would have given in to it as well if it were 10# lighter.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Danny,
Same thing happened to me last year.  I bought a 58" 58#. Super Shrew Samurai from  Chromebuck.  When I got it I tried shooting it and it was everything CB said it was, very smooth shooting.

It then sat on the shelf while I played around with my other bows.  I did occaisionally wonder why I bought it.  Then this spring after struggling shooting the other bows, I put them down and pulled out the Shrew.

It shot so nice I took it to a Archery shop and put it on a scale.  It came out a hair over 55, which made sense.  But the difference in weight is not the main reason it shoots so well for me.  Something about the ease of draw until I hit my anchor is unique on this bow. Don't know what it is, but I can shoot it comfortably alot longer than most of my other bows, and this is the heaviest bow I currently own.
Once in awhile an impulse buy is a good thing!
