Gary,

Both are Super Shrews.  They are both basic hunting configurations and not the sexy wall hangers we often see.  The bow on the left is a Coffey creation with clear glass over bamboo and the bow on the right is a John McCullough Shrew with camo impregnated vaneers.  Straight up Shooters!  

   

Form follows function as they say...

A few years ago I shot some 3Dd with Ray Lyon and was impressed with his Super Shrew and vowed to get one if I could afford it. Later that year I lucked out with this custom Super Shrew. It's my favorite bow. (not sure how to get the pictures into this post)

Hi Bob,
Great to see you join the Shrew clan.

I must say, Tradgang is a really cool place.  Bob came to northern MI with his wife who was here for a horse show and Bob posted a thread on here asking about ranges in the area. I met up with him and we shot through the local range and I had a pleasant time with Bob. It's one of those things about Tradgang that never ceases to amaze me.

By way of explanation, the bow was a custom build for someone else that I bumped into at a KTBA shoot. The wood is so beautiful that I put skins over it when hunting.

I had a SS Samarai with Bamboo limbs and Antler tips and overlays.  That was a great bow.  Beautiful too.

Keith,

That bow is on the left in Chromebuck's photo up top!  You're right, that is a fine shooting bow.  The overlays on that bow are very nice...

 

Shrews are wonderful bows, with a great history.  Here are some I've had, some I have, and some I wish I still had...

 

 

These veneers are what Ron calls "Spiritwood".  If I was having a Shrew made I would ask Ron if he has any around...

 

 

Here's one I'd like back...

 

 

 

Congratulations on your Shrew!  That's really exciting.  Be sure to let us see that bow once it's in hand.

Best Regards, Chase

I named it Spiritwood because you can see images of people and animals in the grain of the wood
