Any Shrew Hill owners here

I had a sneaking suspicion that’s where the name came from. It looks more like a McCrae to me though... Great book/movie.  Any chance that the bow is still in production? Also, what the heck is that riser made of?

The Blue Duck has very similar look and grip as the Hill money bow, was it called White Eagle?  I have a dual shooter prototype from JD Berry with a similar grip as the White Eagle, the arrow shelves are about 3/8" outside of center.  She is a deadly thing and no, I don't let just anybody shoot it or touch it, just like my Sunset duo shooter, I have let two people shoot that one, that is enough no one else from now on. That lack of center shot makes no negative difference for how these two amazing bows shoot.  The lack of center shot never kept Hill off target either.

I have a lefty Shrew Hill made by Chuck and it is a very good bow. Light weight, easy to shoot, and smooth with very little hand shock. Very well made.....Chuck Deschler is a top notch bowyer.  If you have a chance....shoot one and you will want one !  Horserod

Ari, When I was building the Shrew bows I did have Blue Duck at my shop to inspect and model. That was the bow Ron wanted replicated. I also had John Lee and Ron to "coach" me. When John looked at the bows I was making, he could see some of what I had done, he asked some questions, then, he looked at me and said "You figured it out",  That was fun to set and talk with John and Ron that day,
I'll add that Gregg and I have been friends for many years, we talk often, He indeed makes a fine bow. I would be remiss, not to say he has had influence on my Bow making.
