Okay, here are the details.

The bow is 70", 55#@30", 4 Amberboo lams, 2 yew veneers, clear glass, African Blackwood riser, beavertail grip sized to fit my hand.

Here are some pictures showing a comparison to two Hills, a 70" 50@28" Cheetah and a 69" 45@29"Halfbreed.

Neither have I, Roger! It is bound to look good, and all of them shoot well.

Cheney didn't specify that it's a   Shrew Hill which is a Hill style longbow to replace the one that failed...    :readit:

Oh, yeah, sorry Ron. I'll change the title.

I'll get some good pics tomorrow. We've had some pretty serious weather that's prevented me from giving it a good workout, but, so far, it's a very sweet shooter.

I shot Ron's lefty Shrew Hill about a month ago at our buddies house and it's a real treat to shoot. Smooth, DEAD quiet and super soft in the hand on release.  

Say Yew Shrew Hill three times fast and untwist your tounge.   ;)

ShrewHill #1, Alpha, a yew Shrew.  Feast your eyes.  I guess you could call her a "yewboo" bow.  Two boo lams in the middle and two yew on the back and belly.

I like the looks of both of those "Shrew Hills" Nice lines and a good looking grip/riser

The Yew Shrews look very good and undoubtedly shoot well, but I will personally choose to stay with the Shrew designs created by Ron LaClair and later modified by him and Gregg Coffey in producing the newest versions of fairly short longbows and recurves like Super Shrews, Classic Hunters, Lil' Favorites, and Scouts. Hill design bows are great if you are so inclined, and the Shrew Hill is bound to be among the best of breed.
