Roy, you done gone and got me excited! I got an email back from Craig and he stated it looked like it was just in the finish. He told me nothing to worry about and just shoot it. Sounds good to me but, I'm still thinking on skinning it to cover up the finish blemishes.

My son snapped this pic of me posing with the HH Halfbreed this (very rainy) morning.  Last day of this deer season for me.  :(

Now that is a classic bowhunter photo! I know I've worn brand-name break-up pattern clothing with my Hill, but that was before I truly listened to what my Hill was trying to whisper to me.

Oooooooh, that is too cool looking! I wonder how they would do the skins on my Redman? It doesn't have limb tip overlays to skin up too.

Roy, that is a keeper for sure. Good luck with her and we look forward to a full report once she's home.   :)

Us Hill addicts should plan a hunt. I know some prime public ground "all I hunt" that would support a big group. Primitive camping , near good fishing,small game , deer and pork. Lots of stumping ground and NO SNOW. Sorry Ben and Ben no goats but ya`ll welcome to come.RC

Dang good idea RC! Sure would like to get together w/a group of likeminded hunters. TG has them. This year if I go anywhere it will be after elk in KY or Oregon. Hope to post a thread soon as the KY draw results are in. Guess it wouldn't hurt to start early. RC, think you & Marty might want to chase some elk? How about you other folks? BTW, we have agreat spot in Texas w/2 different kinds of goats, deer, & hogs plus small game.

Gingivitiskahn, that's me dude! Can't picture a more perfect walk in the woods rain included. Your pic set me off! Excellent!

Badaz bow Muddster! What's up? You trying to stack up more Hills than me? Stay out of the kid's college fund.

Here's a pic of my "Hill-type" bow. It's a 68" (58# @ 27") Skookum longbow built by Fred Anderson.

If I remember correctly, the Skookum was a very popular longbow.  Long risers.  

Rich, Do you have a pic of it strung?  I love to see the profiles of these bows.

Looks like it would be a good one for an elk hunt.  So you shoot it much?

I like your idea RC!

Tony, question? What's with the new handle? or maybe a better question, why did you ditch your handle?

Should I follow suit?...lol J/K

In Iowa there is no place left anywhere near here, where I can set up my wall tent, and in the morning load my longbow, walk out and go hunting.  It would be grand if there was a place where longbow shooters could camp and hunt and have the type of adventures like Hill went on, without getting run over by the modern crowds. I wanted to put up a longbow only park in Iowa, where longbow shooters could camp and hunt for free, at least three hundred acres. With today's land prices and the touchy economy it is not going let that happen any time soon.

I don't have a pic of the bow strung. But I'll take one later today and post it. I picked up this bow a few years ago in the TG classifieds and then sent it to Real BowDoc to be restored.
I am just now beginning to shoot it. It took me quite awhile because I had to work up to that draw weight.

You're right about the bow being a good one for elk hunting. That has been my intent all along. That bow needs to be in the elk woods.
