A few weeks ago I saw a post by Mr. Ron LaClair regarding his new Shrew Bows by Chuck Deshler. It was as if he'd seen my recently posted want ad for a Classic Hunter. They were stock bows, but one of them could very well have been my own custom order; a Bocote riser with Ron's Spiritwood veneers. McCullogh and Coffey left some big shoes to fill, but Mr. Deshler has done so in stride. Chuck has masterfully continued the Shrew tradition, while giving us something very much his own.

Just for fun; you can stare at these veneers the way you stare at hawk circling effortlessly overhead, which I was doing, when suddenly I noticed a brown bear staring right back at me! Can you find it?

Funny I have a Hoots recurve with Olive Ash Burl and when I stare at it out while hunting I see all kinds of things in it.. :D
Very nice. I see several bear.
Nice bow. I can't find a bear, but I do see scooby do. Looks like he has a black spot on his cheek and a dark eyebrow! LOL!!!
Now I'm going to be staring at my Shrew all day looking for stuff to appear . LOL
Very nice bow. I just traded for a 2 piece and have been shooting it non stop.

Oh and I see the bear
Love the character of the wood. Beautiful bow!
Love the bow - those veneers are incredible. How does it shoot?
Love everything about it...beautiful bow! :thumbsup:
nice bow
Sooooo sweet, I did not see the brown bear, but I did see Elvis.....
QuoteSooooo sweet, I did not see the brown bear, but I did see Elvis....
I can't find him, I guess Elvis has left the building... :goldtooth:
Beautiful bow! I bet it shoots as sweet as it looks!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That is a beautiful bow. I see the bear and a couple of other critters. No kidding, I saw a coyote in the upper left corner, looked away at another area and looked back and now I see a mountain lion face in its place and can't get the 'yote to reappear. Lower right there is a cat like face looking out from behind tall grass. Has to be good Mojo with all those predator eyes looking out from it. You should name it Shape Shifter.
I see a pig, a raccoon, and some pull pork.

Ps I miss my Shrew... one of the few bows I sold that I should not have,
I had a olive ash shrew there were so many skulls in it it creeped me out!!!! So I sold it. But that is a a beauty, I hope it serves you well, good luck this year with it :thumbsup:
Thanks a lot everyone! It shoots wonderfully. It's very quiet. I received it on a Saturday afternoon, and didn't email Ron until Monday from the office; couldn't put it down. I can't seem to find Elvis, but I do see Roy Orbison.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
What a nice bow!!! And YES I do see more than one bear in that limb :bigsmyl:
Chase, you have a real beauty there. Enjoy!
Darren
I see the bear and that is a beautiful bow.RC
Congrats on the partnership Chuck and Ron. Chase you got an original.
Thanks all, I hope that bow works well for you Chase,
I wanna know where you got that blanket? that's pretty cool.
CTT
Great looking bow! There's definitely a bear there too!
Bernie
I see a cougar with its mouth open and screeching to the right of the bear. Groovy bow!
Took another look, I also see a doe, a baboon, and Bigfoot. Sweet bow.
Kept staring at the bear on your beautiful bow.The bear on your bow was staring back!
Where have I seen that bear before?
Got hungry, and my eyes were drawn to the wrapper of the Swiss chocolate bar on the table.
Look closely at the shape in the mountain.
