I think everyone here on Trad Gang knows Chuck Deshler of Two Tracks. Chuck has been building bows for over a decade and has a very good reputation as a top notch bowyer. Looking at his work you'd think he had even more experience. After seeing some of his bows I was impressed with his craftsmanship, so last March I approached Chuck to see if he'd like to make some of my Shrew bows for me. He agreed, and after making a form he made several experimental bows before he got everything just right.
This bow is the latest, a LH (so I could test it), 56" Shrew Classic, 46#@ 28". Bamboo core with Ice Maple veneers. It's a beautiful bow and shoots even better than it looks..

Beautiful!
Nice to see the collaberation of 2 excellent Michigan guys.
I am sure they will be better than ever!
Sweet looking bow
Sweet, that's the way lb tips should look.
Awesome! I just snagged a Greg Coffey made 56" CH never having tried a Shrew and I'm in love. Excellent bows! This is so cool that Chuck Deshler is gonna make them. Might need to get one. I always chuckle when I see his name cause my name is Chuck Droessler. ;)
Fantastic work. Way to go Ron on a great choice of bowers. Chuck is a super nice guy and his work is amazing. This will be a wonderful partnership
Excellent all the way around!
Awesome collaboration! Can't wait to try the new "Two Shrew".
Sweet looking bow!
Chuck is a journeyman in the craft and it shows. Awesome looking bow.
You got a great bowyer, person and family with Chuck Dechler!
WOW!
Beautiful Bow!
Nice going Ron and Chuck.
Best wishes for a long and prosperous relationship.

Beautiful!
Cool, looks good!
nice will you offer a carbon limb
Great looking bow...nice woods.
Beautiful bow.
Ice Maple? Absolutely beautiful!
Keep doing your own thing also Chuck...Two tracks has a great following and you dont want to take your eye off your main objective, and the reason you started this adventure up as a small business owner...
That's fine provided Chuck doesn't forget how to build an Ambush cause one is still on my wish list.
Oh, but so is a Shrew!
Nice!
What is the wait time?
nice but there is one thing wrong with it it aint for a right handed shooter Ron
Great to hear that the Shrew is back in production.
:thumbsup:
Sweet looking bow !!!

Thank you to all for nice comments.
I first met Ron in 1991 and bought my first custom bow from him in 1992. It was an original Shrew. Never would have thought I would be in this position all them years back.
John McCullough was a tremendous help/influence when I began making glass bows and is still a great friend and mentor. Gregg is a fantastic guy/bowyer as well and I have enjoyed his friendship now for about 10yrs.
I am humbled to walk behind these two craftsmen. I look forward to Working with Ron and all of you fine folks as well.
Thank you much.

Chuck and Ron, congrats and good luck on your joint venture.
Congratulations on the new Shrew, on your efforts, experience and friendship. I expect it will be a big success. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Great deal, That is a bow to be proud of and neither of you could do better to have each other working together.
God bless, Steve
Fine looking bow chuck but the first ones already defective with the shelf on the wrong side and all. :rolleyes:
Best wishes with your new endeavor. :wavey:
That's a very nice looking bow Ron, and Chuck. I can remember the first Shrew that I ever shot and how well it performed. They are certainly engineered for maximum performance. Good luck!
Congrats to both Ron and Chuck!
Ron congratulations to you and Chuck on the partnership. Chuck is a great bowyer and he will build you some great bows
Excellent!
Good news, indeed.
Congratulations to the both of you!
Wonderful!
Beautiful bow gentleman. Glad to see things are back on track. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Keep the coffee brewing...
