New Bow Coming Soon!
In June of 2023 at the Compton Rendevouzvous, I was honored to shoot an arrow in memory of our dear friend G. Fred Asbell. Further humbling, Teresa Asbell had me shoot the arrow with one of Fred's favorite and original Bighorn bows.
Teresa and I have discussed this for over a year, and we have brought our memorial effort to fruition by reproducing that exact bow.
I am not a Bighorn Bow collector - hundreds of you know more about the details and spec's of Bighorn Bows than me. That is not the point of this project.
This comes purely from our hearts - for me it is my love of the Asbell's, both Fred and Teresa. We recently recognized the 2 year anniversary of Fred's passing. Teresa and I talk multiple times a week, and we have NEVER had a conversation that did not include Fred's memory. This isn't all sad - we laugh and joke about "WWFD."
We engaged Henry Bodnik and Tim Cosgrove, the owners of Shrew Bows, to build our bow. Teresa and I were both very close with Ron LaClair, and the way Henry and Tim have honored and grown the Shrew legacy made them an easy choice to build these bows.
I have not seen the finished product yet, Henry will be bringing at least 2 of them to Kalamazoo this weekend.
Enjoy the pictures, more to come!
