Post by: Ari_Bonn on August 14, 2017, 12:24:00 AM
Anyone hear of or shot one of these?  R/D narrow limb and same handle style from pics I can find.

Craig never advertised them, had to ask for one, he might still build one on request, I don't know?  As one person put it:  "HHA's guilty secret" aka "doesn't fit the narrative" LOL.  From the posts I've seen, they seem to be good shooters, but not necessarily 'extraordinary' or anything, just a good solid r/d longbow with a good pedigree.  I wouldn't mind trying a lefty someday.  Google will yield quite a few pics and old posts.

I've got one.  It's not exceptional or anything spectacular.  It is a very nice shooting bow.  Mine is a little lighter pull than I Usually shoot so I use it while recovering, like now.  I'm very happy with mine, nice shooting, good looking bow.

I've seen several for sale in the classifieds over the years. I believe Craig still makes them on request.    :campfire:

I use to have one and traded it for a HH longbow. I thought it was a great shooting bow. Had a smooth draw it was just that all I was shooting anymore was longbows.
