Im gonna get to shoot one this Thursday for the first time.Ill be ordering a new bow this spring.Itll be my second brand new bow.I have 2 very different bows in mind, either a Shrew or a 1 piece Schafer.That swoop option looks mighty fine.

Here's mine that Paul built for me in '86...my first custom bow and still the bow I compare all others to!

First two critters killed with it in '87....

And the last 2 I killed with it last year on it's trip home to Montana......

The bowyer in me noticed that the shelf of his bows is in the middle of the riser. Anybody else do this? I always put the middle of the riser in the deepest part of the grip, which puts the shelf 1 1/2" above the middle. Chad

okay,,, someone please answer this question as it has caught my attention too.

Here are 2 I picked up at a garage sale. Once I got the camo paint off and the fabric limb covers removed I think they look
pretty nice.

60" 65#

60" 77#
