Terry, since the bow is a bit heavy, I was wondering if you got any special critter to get after with the Hill?  Something big??  Inquiring minds want to know   :banghead:

Yep I shot a Hill bow a couple of times. There is just something about them bows. Think I'll take a peek at that E place and see what up for bids.  :bigsmyl:  <><

Skyler's bow (Don thought it would be his    :banghead: ) is 62" and draws 46@28.  Rosewood dymondwood with actionboo cores and double carbon.    He is absolutely shooting the lights out with it    :goldtooth:    :goldtooth:

For anyone who is looking, there are several nice Hills on the Hill Site classified page right now.

www.howardhilllongbowmen.com (http://www.howardhilllongbowmen.com)

go to HH Classifieds

Like someone said above, there is just something about these bows.    I had a lot of different bows early on, but i just settled into Hills like a big dog with his own futon.

I just got a Hill Halfbreed, and it is a shooter. I normally shoot 3-under, but that somehow seems wrong with a Hill bow. Even shooting split (which I haven't done in years), I was making some pretty good groups with it first time I took it out. Very, very quiet too. Nice bows, enjoy yours!

OH at work hit it right on the head. HH bows just have a feeling. Sort of the essence of why I gave up the compound, no gadgets, simple.
