Thanks for the video Chuck.  I just got a back quiver, and many of your tips -- the bump, and pulling the arrow up by the nock are helpful.

Can't wait to be joining the hill shooters ranks in the next few weeks. Just placed an order for a 7 Lakes hill style bow that should be here in 4-6 weeks. I'm dreaming about her already.

Congrats, Jon! From what I've heard, those 7 Lakes bows are real shooters.

I should be getting Joe's 105# 70" Tribute in the mail by lunch Monday.  Can't wait to post some draw pics and some down range shots   :D

Chuck, you animal! I'm barely comfortable with 52#! Can't wait to see you in action with that beast.

Hehe..it'll take a little time till I'm shooting any shoots with something like that haha or whatnot.  I will probably just draw to 28-29 initially with my long arrows, even short drawn it'll be 95@28.   I haven't had my 90# bow for a good 5 months so I'll need to go easy, especially cause of my right elbow issues..but the good news is the way my elbow thing is going pulling things doesn't seem to exacerbate it.  I think shooting that much weight left would be more worrisome for me, thankfully my lefty 100# tribute is 4 months off.  The good thing is both bows are 70" which makes a big difference to perceived weight.  If it were a 62" bow haha forget it!

Here is a little of my Hill eye candy as well, for your viewing pleasure, 2 Northern Mist and 3 Hills.

Nice spread, Tom!

Well, I got bit!!! Northern Mist Shelton 68" 54#@27"
At my 29 1/2" she flat smokes an arrow. Smooth drawing and shooting bow!!!!

TJ- nice harem!

Loving man-  gorgeous Mist, Steve does it right.

Wow! TJ the "Falcon and the "Big 5" look a lot different from the last pictures I saw of them.

Someone did a great job!!

Nice harem you've got going.

God bless,Mudd

Love those pics of multiple bows.  My favorite was Roy's that was taken in the trunk of a car...had just the right angle to take all of them in.

The only thing that ain't right in this photo of my small stable is that the Wesley now belongs to Centex, and I'm on the hunt for another one, but in the 50# range.

Are you talking about this one Green?



God bless,Mudd

I like pics too!      

 
 

Loving the spreads. I really enjoy those exposed fades. I think my next bow will be another Vixen and I'm gonna have James run only clear glass over the belly ramp and leave it exposed. Looks sweet

Great pics guys, love that Shelton BLM.
Yep Mudd, got those two from a buddy of yours, l like the Falcon, just wish it had a straight grip, but a great shooter.
Tom

Yeah I am enjoying the Wesley.  That trunk picture looks like fun.

Hey guys what benefits or characteristics are associated with all lams under the riser.  Is it a throwback from pre glass designs?

For those of you who might have been having problems viewing my "Using a back quiver" video, I've moved it over to YouTube. Seems to view much more smoothly.

Centex, It's difficult to get a thick wood lamination up the steep curve in a 14" riser.  The glass lam is easily flexible and strong enough to insure good contact with the riser during glue up. Plus it has the advantage of appearing like a all wood bow.

Here's a pic of a David Miller Expedition with myrtle riser and exposed fades. I really like this old school touch in a Hill style.
