HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

K2 · May 24, 2017, 02:27:00 PM

I am thinking of ordering a Ten Ring Fury string for my HH Mamba that will be here in a couple weeks at most. It is 66"; should I order a 63" string or wait until the bow gets here and measure string that is on bow and order? Does anyone know if a 63" Fury string will work. Thanks for any info. Ken

Ken, I'd wait until the bow arrives; set your brace height, then measure the string and let Allen know what it is. He will fix you up.

Ken no need to wait. My Mamba is 70" and I had Allen do a 67" string and it was perfect for 6.5" brace. 3" less should do you fine. Craig builds em and marks em right.

I should qualify this by saying he^ is right about setting your brace to your desired height, I just figured you're prolly in a fairly normal range right? So AMO should do you fine, 3" less, ya know?

Fury has near zero stretch via Allen's strings, everytime I get one from him it only budges maybe 1/8" max after setting it for the first few shots, then add a twist or two and after that it doesn't move. It's way nicer on these bows IMHO, the big thick B50 stock strings are like Laffy taffy to me Lol

Chuck,

What colors did you order for yours? Your string matched nicely. Thanks, Ken

And now the wait begins......just ordered a new Hill Ruffed Grouse, T/D, dual shelf with Cocobolo riser, silver bear inlay and antler tips. Going to be 45#@29" and 68" long. 7-8 weeks isn't to long to wait for a brand new bow. Can't wait to see it.

Seems like Craig is a busy guy these days. I am at the end of week six in my wait for my new Big Five. I have gotten several bows from Craig and I think the longest wait I have had was 3 weeks. He said he had a pretty good order list, and I'm glad for that for his sake and the sake of the new Hill bow owners. I'm hoping to have my BF by Cloverdale time.

My count down begins. How to make a month and a half take forever.

Well - Had to share this one. Got very lucky and found this Schulz bow called the "Favorite" for sale. So I snatched her up. And what a bow she is! Limbs are 3 Lams of Yew between brown glass on back and belly. Myrtle riser with a dished grip. Absolutely the finest ASL I have ever held! She is 66 inches and follows the string. Marked 65# @ 27, she sends my Wapiti Cedars down range in a hurry. I am in pure archery heaven when I shoot her. You have to see the tips to believe them - so small and finely crafted. Mr. Schulz is truly the Master! I'm taking this one with me to the grave!

WOW!!!

Beautiful bow.

Just one more pic - better pic of the bottom limb tip - Just Incredible!

There is a permanent

on my face over this one!

I am in "wait mode" also. Two weeks ago I spoke with Craig and ordered a Tembo. It will be 68" and 53@28.5. Black glass for the back and face with a purpleheart riser and tip overlays. Should be here by mid August. My wife made me get it for my 55th birthday. She is terrible!

My wait is over. I just received a Two Tracks Echo , 70" long. It is 62 @ 30". It really throws an arrow. Chuck is a great bowyer. The draw is so smooth and it is dead in the hand after the shot. Very quiet as well. It has an Osage riser and Walnut limbs. I want woods indigenous to Michigan. The grip is slightly dished and it fits my hand perfectly. This is one serious hunting machine. It's always taken me some time to get aquainted with a new bow. Not this Echo from Chuck. It acts like I've carried it for years.

i am in that waiting mode. All I seem to be doing is playing Bach suites, keeping tabs on my yard pets, (the babies are growing in the wren house) and watching the grass grow. This week is hot so I am doing a little touch up finish work on a couple of bows. Not a big fan of summer heat since the heat stroke many years back.

Received this from Mike at 7 Lakes a few days ago! Really am liking it so far! Silent Night 68" 42# @ 28, I draw 31 so about 50#. Still getting used to the dished grip but it's growing on me!

nineworlds9 · July 04, 2017, 05:10:00 PM

Pav' it's 93 degrees in the shade here in NW FL and 70% humidity, I feel your pain, I haven't been shooting much because of it, oh then there's the damn gnats. They seem to love me.

That 7 Lakes looks ace!

Rock 'N Bow · July 06, 2017, 07:15:00 PM

Just got a new bow in the mail today. A Todd Henck ASL, made in the style of Schulz. He is a student of David Miller, who was a student of John Schulz. It is 68", 58#@28". Brown glass on the back and white on the belly.

I had to delete the pics I uploaded from Fast Pic as a precaution.

I braced it at 6" and shot my Surewood 75-80 with 190gr points. Not only did they hit the mark but did so quietly even without silencers. The turnaround time was quick(7 weeks) and it is reasonably priced.

Nice!
