Great choice

Congrats on new bow. I'm sure it will be a sweet bow. I'm so excited to get out and hunt turkeys in a few weeks!!!!!

Steve is as good as they get.  Enjoy your 'last' new bow.😉

Exactly !!!!!   

I sure do like my HH Big5 ... and it appears to like the newly twisted B55 string.

That's a great looking bow Rob. Did Craig make it?  Looks older.

Not sure if Craig made it, bought it off a Trad Ganger a few years back.  Shedua riser, clear glass, straight limbs and handle.   Oh wait, yep, "BC", crafted by Craig

Last year, I bought a Hill "Mountain Man" I LOVE shooting it!!! But, I can't hit a Bull in the ass with it! lmao
I grab that bow, sling my Howard Hill back quiver over my shoulder... MAN, I look COOL!!!!!

"Image" is everything   

Nice to see ya again Rob!!!

  I am anticipating a moose hunt and my state requires at least 50 lb draw. I recently sold a 50 lb recurve and while it was a beauty, I could not shoot it any better than my current three piece hybrid, so someone offered me good price for it( I had not even listed it) so I let it go.

I have been having trouble with my bow shoulder and doubted I could go much higher.  I had gotten a cortizone shot once a year or so for the last five years and it would be better for awhile and then the pain would return.  So I went to see a physical therapist who gave me a regimen of exercises and I gradually strengthened the muscles around my shoulder to the point where I havnt needed another cortizone shot for two years now.

So regarding the potential moose hunt, my problem was my current number one bow is 49 lbs.  Then I saw people writing about how smooth their Northern Mist Shelton shot. I called and talked to Steve Turay at Northern Mist and about it.

He said he had a 55 lb bow that would be a good candidate, a 68" Shelton. After talking to Steve a few times and weighing the pros and cons I decided to take it. I was concerned that I might be over bowing myself but decided I would try to work up to it, as I did not want to shoot the absolute minimum weight bow.

I received it a few days ago. What a pleasureable bow to draw and shoot.  I think we will get along just fine!

Here it is.

That bow sure will look good resting on some moose antlers. 

I really love the way the green glass pairs up to the reddish brown riser

Had this Wallace/Brackenbury "Old Timer" become available recently. A friend is considering it, but if he by-passes I may end up grabbing it.

That's a sweet looking bow. Your buddy better make up his mind pretty quickly.

On an unrelated note, I got my turkey rig dialed in.  Here are my last six shots from 20 yards out:

Good shooting Evan!

Gary, I'm glad you're getting along with that bow.  It's a great Hill style bow.  Good luck on the moose hunt 👍👍

MnFn, I have a couple of Shelton bows from NM. Both are 68" long and pull 53# at 28", very similar to yours. One of mine is the green glass. If I had the money, I could be the poster child for NM bows. I'm not at all surprised that you like your bow. It will serve you well on your moose hunt, you lucky rascal. Go get 'em! And post pics!

I love my Hills and one Schultz bow

We both passed on it, so it's still out there locally.
