Title: HH Limited Editions
Post by: ShrtRnd on May 14, 2020, 08:50:24 PM
Has anyone kept track of past HH limited editions?

Just curious to see how many there has been over the years and their configurations (woods, lams etc). Quick google search has proved fruitless thus far.

Oh and for those not in the know or new to HH bows, Craig will custom build you whatever you want as far as lams/riser/grip.  You can build a bow with similar lams/woods to any of these ones it just wont have the name or number.  Heck give it your own name.  Just a tidbit in case anyone thought you were limited to just the models listed.

Always wanted an Ol Three Toes but never saw one for sale - I think the grip had some line work done to it which I always found unique.

Dick organized the Howard Hill Longbowmen, and commissioned Craig to make a run of bows for members with some custom features.

Thats right!  The Longbowman's Choice I believe it was called.

"Ol' One Shot" was a limited edition as well with 50 made.  This commemorates a hunt where Howard whacked a pronghorn.  Beautiful inlaid silver pronghorn antelope on the bow.

There was a limited edition "Robin Hood" and I think there was 100. I had one that I regrettably sold, wish I could find it again.

I'm not sure but I seem to remember seeing a Limited Edition HH with a shark inlay and it had a really cool looking shark skin grip.

Youre thinking of the Sirocco. It has a teak riser, marlin inlay and stringray grip (just like shark skin".
