It's hard to go wrong with Howard Hill bows. I've owned many different Hill style bows in recent years,my personal favorite is my Howard Hill Redman.

Yep.....a great find!

Niner, I would want the white on the belly, so I could see the bow in low light conditions. I am a switch hitter, I should have a bow like that. NOo, I should not have a bow like that, because then my wife would think that I would need only one bow. Actually, we are nuts in a way. One good Hill style longbow should do it. So my next one, that should just about do it.

I agree about the lighter color on the belly. I guess the reason Craig did the blonde bamboo on the back was so that it looked like the sap wood layer on a self yew ELB, hence the Robin Hood association of this particular model aside from Hill himself. I will give you first dibs on this one if I let it go. Which is entirely possible. Because I'm a bow whore. (As described endearingly by Big Jim)

Niner, I am not a bow slut like you. I just like to spread the sugar around too much. Just because the one wall in my bow/bedroom is insulated with longbows, that does not make me a bow whore. James tells me that my next bow will make all of my bows irrelevant, he is probably right, but it is going to feel cold in my bedroom without that longbow insulation to give that fuzzy warm feeling.

that hh robin hood is sweeeet, congrats!

ever since last year i've done gone full circle with my trad bows, back to my roots, the hh style longbow. the hh is not particularly a bow for tree stands or bush country, as the shorties will be easier in those kinda hunt venues where wielding a 68" stick can either take careful maneuvering or the need to vacate for another spot. still, where there's room to draw-aim-release, a hill style is just my fave, maybe yours too.

I put a ladder stand in my backyard just for some practice shots and to see if I wanted to go back up in the air. For myself, the shooting area that feels comfortable when sitting is much wider with a 62" Robertson than it is with a 66" bow. The tree gets in way of the bottom limb on longer bows and shooting down hill with the bow not tilted way over is not my shot. Of course, someone just had to report that there was a crazy up in tree with a bow. The right hand trad shooting cops agree, because I put the tree stand on the wrong side of the tree for them.

Rob DiStefano · August 16, 2015, 05:58:00 PM

i really Really REALLY try to avoid tree stands these dayze. i prefer ground huntin fer hogs.

Any other JD Berry "staff archers" out there? Just got my t shirts, and now I am, according to the shirt, a "staff archer". OE, does this mean we get paid? Such a deal.
Now, I have to go out and get some critter blood on these shirts.

centaur · August 17, 2015, 01:43:00 PM

double tap

August 17, 2015, 03:08:00 PM

Centrum, you're just trying to make us jealous. You have your elk spot picked, you are heading out to go antelope hunting in your backyard, and now you got your shirts first and you get to be a staff pro. Not fair.

Brianlocal3 · August 17, 2015, 04:17:00 PM

Centaur is a braggart, we should tie him up with his bow string !!!!

JDBerry · August 17, 2015, 04:49:00 PM

Green and I spoke about having "staff shooter" put on all shirts, I went with staff archer.

I cant spell big words, but I will say it the best I can. You guys have designed the bows, telling me the likes and dislikes and what you wanted in a ASL. I have always felt we are a team. ..OE

ron w · August 17, 2015, 04:53:00 PM

Got my T shirt today.......really nice

Didn't know I was good enough to be a staff archer.........

Green · August 17, 2015, 08:14:00 PM

Is the goat one eyed?

centaur · August 17, 2015, 08:41:00 PM

I figured it would be wearing one of those newsboy/driving hats or a sailor suit, but I was wrong.

August 17, 2015, 10:12:00 PM

I shot another three hundred arrows today, I hope my Morningstar doesn't wear out before my shirt gets here.

August 18, 2015, 04:46:00 PM

I just talked to James, I am excited beyond words. I have a package coming, I will post pics when it gets here.
