ShrewHill's "Yellow Dog"

Ron LaClair · August 18, 2011, 08:09:00 PM

The Yellow Dog Plains is an area north and west of Marquette, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, The Yellow Dog River flows through it, as does the Salmon Trout River. The Yellow Dog Plains is a remote and virtually untouched wilderness. The plains area is a great place to spot and stalk black bears in the fall as they feed on wild berrys. I first hunted the Yellow Dog in 1964 almost 47 years ago. That was when this wild remote area stole my heart.

Our newest Shrew Hill Longbow seems like it belongs in such an environment so I'm naming it "Yellow Dog". The Bow is 68", 48# @ 28". It has a beautiful myrtle wood burl riser, bamboo core with brown glass on the back and white glass on the belly. The white glass has been aged to a golden hue. In keeping with our goal to make our bows slim in the limb with a narrow wedge type grip, this bow is fashioned in that style.

Ron,
You really nailed it with that grip, I love it!!!
I had a bow with that style grip and it's what I prefer.
I really need to get on your waiting list asap

Thanks for sharing the pics of your new sweetheart.

Looks beautiful, Ron. As you know, it is not the style that I personally prefer to shoot, but that does not diminish its elegance or beauty. Others who are drawn (pun intended) to that style will love owning one. Now, about that Shrew Safari ...

TTT for one cool looking longbow!

That bow would look a lot better if it was two inches shorter, ten pounds heavier, had the arrow shelf on the other side, and have my name written on it, as in custom made for....

I have to admit and I dont have a shrew at the moment but it seems most bowyers are staying with the same bows and Ron you seem to be coming up newer verions all the time,, I know you shot a hill style before from pics I seen but I never thought you would produce one, also with the gear, the knives and hawks theres ONE thing you need to do and thats come up with the Shrew broadhead...

oh and sweet bow you have there..
