The History of Shrew Bows
The following is the story of the revolutionary Shrew bow. Here you will find Ron LaClair the man behind the design and development of the Shrew, as well as the bowyers who were involved with the crafting of Shrew Bows through these many years.
In the early 1990’s Ron LaClair experienced a profound moment of inspiration. In this moment of clear vision he saw beyond the normal scope of conventional bow building wisdom – he saw the initial design concept for an extremely short but smooth, fast, and powerful longbow. He called this incredible bow the “Shrew.”
About Ron LaClair
Ron LaClair is the personification of a mountain man from the early 1820s in North America. Wild, fierce, and fearless, he has always lived life by his rules – facing whatever came his way head-on. If you’ve met the man, you know this to be true.
Ron LaClair was born in 1936, some would say he was born 100 years or so too late, but Ron never bothered with sentiments like that. From a very young age, he knew his mind, discovered his passions, and lived life with a reckless abandon and freedom that few souls ever achieve.
