Henrys Traditional Archery Episode 1: The 60" Super Shrew II ! The smoothest bow I ever shoot!

[@markrudd8265]

I’m lucky enough to own a Bodnik Quick stick and a Supper shrew II. The quick stick is a very smooth all round bow. The super shrew is a more refined bow with all the smoothness and a little extra flick. I will never pick up another bow, the shrew is without a doubt the best bow in the world!! Thank you Henry and your amazing team. 🏹🎯.

[@mikeseeley1042]

This is a man who really enjoys his work! It's fun and interesting, and makes me want to try his bows...like, all of them!

Alan Beaulier It‘s a great honor for us to be with our bowyers from Bodnikbows behind this famous US brand. Thank you very much for your comment.

[@CoachBjarne]

Hi Henry, The proof if smothness lies in the DrawForceCurve (DFC). If you would share the dfc, then I could compare it to other bows and form my opinion in how smooth it is. Keep up the good work! Cheers Bjarne

[@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111]

high henry. ron was a nice guy and great archer. u definately have more reflex in the drawn limb. rons bow looked a bit more like a ancient egytian bow which appeared slightly less reflex. i'm sure some of the knowledge gained from the slick stick went into this bow. for 30# it looks quite quick. up to 33 in. draw should be very smooth. good shooting by the way. good job. thank yew gare

[@vaportrail226]

Hey gare, always see you lurking around these archery vids. Be safe

[@ruthinelshoadley397]

Actually the Shrew looks more like the Assyrian composite bow. The unstrung Shrew has an uncanny resemblance to one found in an Egyptian tomb that scholars believe is Assyrian in origin. Reference: Balfour, H. 1897, On a remarkable ancient bow and arrows believed to be of Assyrian origin, Journal of the Anthropological Institute, 26: 210-20. You can see this via Google books.

Hallo Henry, Es ist so leise, Ich kann diesen The 60" Super Shrew II auf Ihrer Website nicht finden! Hat es einen anderen Namen (Bodnik Bows Hunter)?

[@AnimaTriste]

The bow seems a dream. For 30# very flat trajectory and a beautiful combination of woods. Riser is just beautiful. Does this bow come in longer versions? Like 64 or 66 inches? I'm 3d shooter only and I like my bows to be longer for stability reasons. I see though that limb bending at full draw could easily accommodate longer draws even in this 60 inch version. Grüße aus Slowenien!

[@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111]

Anima Triste Live this bow! The draw weight curve is amazing. Comfortable, smooth with no finger pinch up to 34” draw. No longer versions planned right now. Don’t got a reason right now for a longer version

[@AnimaTriste]

@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 Henry, ich danke dir herzlich für deine Antwort. Mein Deutsch ist zwar nicht so gut, aber ich hoffe, das wir uns verstehen können. Der Bogen ist wirklich toll, die Frage nach der Länge war nur Kuriositäts wegen. Ich mochte auch wissen, wie wäre für mich die leichteste Möglichkeit hier in EU dieser Bogen zu kaufen, und welche vergleichbare Bodnik Bogen wurdest du empfehlen?

[@TheDayne]

Very nice looking bow! I reckon the finger pinching will be quite uncomfortable at higher drawweights because it is so short?

[@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111]

LongbowArchery Thanks for your comment. Finger pinch is pretty comfortable. Bending process in the end of the limbs is less to eliminate finger pinch to a min. The strong reflex of the limbs also optimizing the bending process of the limbs in the matter of finger pinch too. So the 60“ Super Shrew is a nice comfortable bow st all. I‘m shooting with my 30“ draw a 54“ Shrew.
