A NEW Shrew

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..

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.    ;)

Excellent all the way around!
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Hey! Thats good to see! What a pretty bow!

I had one of Chucks prototypes in my hand at Compton, and the grip felt great!

Good for you Ron & Chuck, I am thrilled to see the Shrew name moving forward!   :thumbsup:
