Not sure what you are asking about.  Do you mean Owl Bows by Ed Scott from New Mexico--the all wood bows, or the Owl model from Howard Hill Archery?  If the former I have no experience with them other than having seen them.  If you mean the Howard Hill bow by that model name, an Owl model from Hill is osage lams with a bamboo core.  Any other core woods would make it a different model than the Owl.  I do have an Owl from Hill and it shoots great.  Hills juniper bow is called the Cheetah.

I have two juniper Owls and an osage Owl. All three are good shooters and among the prettiest bows I've ever owned. Mr Scott makes a very useful bow but he is also a real artist. Apparently the sinew backed bows tend to gain weight with age, up to a point.  These bows were low 40s draw when new, now they are mid 40s- 50#s.
