Teresa and I have discussed this for over a year, and we have brought our memorial effort to fruition by reproducing that exact bow.
I am not a Bighorn Bow collector...hundreds of you know more about the details and spec's of Bighorn Bows than me. That is not the point of this project.
It is purely from our hearts...for me it is my love of the Asbell's, both Fred and Teresa. We recently recognized the 2 year anniversary of Fred's passing. The fact that Teresa and I talk multiple times a week, and we have NEVER had a conversation that did not include Fred's memory. This isn't all sad....we laugh and joke about "WWFD"
We engaged Henry Bodnik and Tim Cosgrove, the owners of Shrew Bows to build our bow. Teresa and I were both very close with Ron LaClair, and the way Henry and Tim have honored and grown the Shrew legacy made them an easy choice to build these bows.
I have not seen the finished product yet, Henry will be bringing at least 2 of them to Kalamazoo this weekend.
I am making this announcement on TradGang first for a reason. The TradGang family has been very good to the Asbells and to Traditional Woodsman. You are good to us, and we love you back :biglaugh:
Enjoy the pictures...more to come.

First, I apologize for this haphazard launch. We just weren't sure what we were going to have finished this quickly, and when we found out we were going to have 2 bows to show, we knew we wanted to show them in Kalamazoo this weekend.
We took several orders, and the 2 bows we brought to the show are now available.....they are kinda light, 30# and 40#.
I have several PM's asking about how to order:
Just send me an email at [email protected]
I will get your information and the specifics of your bow.No deposit required.
The base model (which I favor) is $800 + shipping
The Ebony and birch model is $875
It's an extra $10 for bow quiver inserts.
Our lead time right now is 3-4 months, but that will grow as our list does.
Within a week or so we will have our website squared away, so orders can be placed there. Sorry for the unpreparidness, but we are early on this.
Thank you SO MUCH for all of the support and positive feedback!

Not to sound like a broken record, so I'll politely ask again, is there a possibility in the future for a takedown?
I'm sorry that I missed your question. Yes....likely towards the end of this summer.

Order placed for my Big Horn Legacy from Roger. Looking forward to the day it arrives. This will be my first recurve in quite a while. Been shooting and deer hunting with my Mathews long bow that they had put out for a while and my newly purchased osage self-bow from Weylin Olive which is one beautiful bow.
Thank you very much!
I would love to see pics of that osage self bow!
