I used this email and phone, in 2013 I think, to buy a quiver.  If memory serves, when I called, I talked to Ron.

Hope he's OK.  He seemed nice enough.  Did you see him in "Masters of the Barebow" ?  Impressive.  I am interested in his Mantis 6 arrow quiver.  I got the moose hide GFA quiver from him most recently.

I checked Linkedin and Facebook with no luck.  I did find his address on whitepages.com but no 2nd phone number to try.  Masters of the Barebow volume 1.  $25 at 3R.  Features a number of big names showing how they shoot.  Good watch.  I understand that G. Fred Asbell has a relationship with Ron.  If I were you, I'd be tempted to send Mr. Asbell an email asking about the whereabouts of Ron.

Side note - Until this summer I lived in Traverse City.  Over the years I had the pleasure of meeting Ted Nugent and James Vanover.  James makes a nice takedown custom longbow.  James may know Ron as well.  I think I can get you James' phone # if necessary.

Ron's around and kicking.  Dont know about stock bows that he might have on hand however as most are sold here with ad if there's a missed weight bow. Most all of his sales are mail order and the rest done at Kalamazoo expo. I don't believe he's kept shop hours for a few years.

Talked to ron the other night on the phone.  Seemed like he was doing well.   I ordered  a throwing hawk from him. You should be able to contact him.  Good luck.

Just spoke with Ron, he is having a terrible time with his phone. He's heading into his "phone store" to get it taken care of....

Dale, I'm sorry you're having trouble getting in contact with me. My main land line has a voice mail, if you leave a message I'll return your call.

email is ron@shrewbows or [email protected], either one should work.
