OK Brian,

Just so you will know, black walnut cores and forward handle bows go together like donuts and coffee. Here's mine. "Sweet Sue", I've had this bow since April 1992. I let Jim Belcher borrow it a few months back because he now has the original form this bow was made on. After shooting it, even Jim was amazed at the performance. Enjoy...

RC at 1st glance the way the sun and shadows fall on your deer made me think you had killed one of those Eastern shore Sika deer..lol

Someone please tell me that I'm not just losing it and this photo at a glance this buck could pass for a Sika.

Nice shooting brother!!

huntingarcher - Yes Sir! It was made by Jeff.

Brian - Jim had called me about this bow, because he had received several inquiries about the old, forward handle bows that Jeff was famous for building. Jim wanted to use this one as a model for the new ones he was preparing to build.

As much fun as deer hunting, pheasant hunting and turkey chasing is suppose to be, my 55 yew has an exciting job to do this winter. I have been given exclusive permission to thin a large thick farm grove of its excessive rabbit problem.  I must be sick, but nothing is more fun to do with a longbow than get into a mess of bunnies.

Rick, your kill'n me. I love black walnut as a bow wood and for the obvious beauty of it. The design of the riser on that bow looks really good to my eye. The limbs look fantastic. I haven't shot a reverse handle, but I can imagine there is a very dead in the hand quality to them. Good thing I can't afford to buy another bow right now, because Black Walnut is on my list.Thanks for showing it.

Ron,
With friend like you who needs taxes to take your money, you know good and well once he gets the feel of that reverse handle he will have to have one,  I love my reverse handled bows

Lots of talk here back and forth. I like the chatter. It means we're carrying on the Hill talk  :) .

Now to add,..... anyone out there know anything about a Hill style bow made by Holmes? I'm thinking Gary Holmes? of the former Shrew variety. I just wanted some input on the Hill styles he made that carry the name Holmes, or is it possible there is another Holmes??

Pics and input appreciated.

Thank you.

Centex, they seem to not torque in the hand because of the riser out front.....if that makes any sense......lol!
