A new Shrew for an old man

[Ron LaClair]

I just got back from my Shrew Haven deer camp and I wanted to share something with you. Henry Bodnik who is producing the Shrew bow now surprised me with a new Shrew in left hand in the lower weight that I'm shooting now. The difference in this Classic Hunter II is the length of the bow and a new German fiberglass on the limbs. The glass is blemish free and even though it's a rich green color that is reminiscent of green glass of the 1960's, this glass is somewhat translucent. I could see some dark lines of the curly birch veneers through the glass.

I gave Henry some suggestions for a name for the new glass "Supreme Green" or "Emerald Mist"....anyone like these names or do you have another suggestions?

Below is a video link that Henry posted on Instagram of me shooting the bow for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised that the bow even though light weight liked a stiffer arrow with a 175gr broadhead.

I hunted all week with the bow but didn't get a chance to test it's killing power

Emerald Mist sounds great and has a romantic quality to it.

Emerald Mist does have a nice ring to it.

Emerald Mist sounds good or "ShamRock" "Knock em down with a Shamrock"

[Roger Norris]

"Jackpine Green"

[Bob Morrison]

Emerald Mist gets my vote. Green sounds just too green.

I really love the look of that bow!  Very pretty.  I would like one of those, and I've actually long been wanting to get a Classic Hunter back in my lineup of Shrews.

For me, "mist" just doesn't do it.  I'll cast my vote for Shamrock.  I think Keefer's got a good one there.  I also like Supreme Green.

I'll vote, as well, to have that video archived in the Shooter's Form Forum.

Great work Ron.  I look forward to getting a hold of one.

How 'bout Grüner Spitzmaus Jäger (green shrew hunter).
Obviously you can hunt other things besides tiny mice

Seriously, I really like the looks of that bow. Henry and Chris did well.

I like "Grüne Jäger", adds a bit of flare. (Green Hunter)

I like "Grüne Jäger", adds a bit of flare.

Yep, I like this suggestion.  Very unique 👍👍

That's a fine-looking bow. I like "Jackpine Green" myself. Nice one Roger.

Are these available as two piece?  I know that Bodnik Bows (main bowyer -Christopher Unger) do two piece version of their bows...

[Petrichor]

Aurora Green.

Gorgeous bow.  I like the Emerald Mist moniker.

[nineworlds9]

I like Roger's "Jackpine Green".

***Or how about "Jaeger Green"? (hunter green)  --->Henry sells the German Jaeger Broadheads after all.

I don't like Emerald Mist because we already have Northern Mist / Steve Turay out there.  I had a similar reaction to when Henry named the Mohawk model bows, we had Vince making Mohawk longbows here stateside, though Vince is retired from it now.

Grüne Jäger! I love that...

How about Shrew's White Pine Green...thinking back to Michigan's rich logging history, and all the stands of White Pine that used to be in our great north country.
