Title: Hill style pics
Post by: BCWV on January 26, 2013, 01:22:00 PM
I finished up the glass longbow John helped me on. It's 66", 49@26. I enjoyed this one too. I shot it a bit this morning and it shoots 53# spine fir shafts very well.

Did a little better on the tips on this one but still need improvement.

Sadly, penmenship is getting worse.

This bow building is a hoot. I wish I hadn't waited so long to try it.

Bow looks great!  And I don't think the penmanship is bad at all!

Your form is consistent from the hickory bow pic too!  I don't want to show a pic of me at full draw!    :biglaugh:

Nice job. I'm acutally starting to like white glass on the belly. I might have to try that on my next Hill style.

Hey Hey Hey!  That turned out dang nice, Brad!!!  Well done!   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

The white glass on the belly is really classy and your tips are very nicely shaped.

So what are you planning for the next one?

Thanks fellas.

Yea, I have horrible form but shoot the same sloppy way every shot. I do pretty good untill I try to fix it, then it goes to crap!

I really like that white glass too.

John, I'm already thinking on the next one and it will be a straight Hill style for sure! Thanks again for all your help.

I appreciate the kind words fellas.

Brad
