Striving for perfection
« on: November 04, 2016, 11:51:00 AM »
I guess it's human nature to constantly be trying to improve on what is already good.      :dunno:  

Mark Twain once wrote   Continious improvement is better than delayed perfection

Jim Belcher is making Shrew bows now and I spent several hours yesterday at his shop kicking around ideas to improve on an already great bow. When I left for home I was very happy with the results and Jim was also. A little tweaking here and there can sometimes pay off.

Here's Jim making some changes

     

Testing the improvements

     

Happiness is having a successful day.

   
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

Jim is a fantastic bowyer. I have every confidence that he will bring the Shrew bows to the next level. Good for you Ron.....it's awesome that you continue to push forward.

Have shot Shrew bows from as far back as the 90's (and they were great), I think it is a testimate to your commitment to customer service that yu have always tried to improve the design "just a smidge".

Awesome. I am 100% certain that involving Jim Belcher will create the highest quality Shrew to date.

Tim, Jim is shooting a 60" Super Shrew with the newly designed limb.
