oooooo it's niiiiiiiice, too. the caramelized boo is THE way to go for me. pix and full review in the making ...

Kevin L. · February 17, 2011, 03:05:00 PM

C'mon Rob, bring it on. Need my daily dose of eye candy.

Rik · February 17, 2011, 03:42:00 PM

DON'T DO IT ROB!

DON'T DO IT!

Do not show pictures of the new Carmelized Big Five. There are many reading this who are staggering on the very precipice of ordering a new Hill bow for spring, and I fear that those pictures are all it would take to push them right over the edge.

Rob DiStefano · February 17, 2011, 04:23:00 PM

oops, sorry rik and fellas .... :D

68" big 5, labled as 50@28, it's 51.2@28 and 54.4@29 (my draw length). padauk riser and tip overlays, caramelized boo limbs, string follow, locator handle, laced black leather grip.

this is by far the most comfortable craig hill handle yet - it's absolutely *perfect* for me.

mostly interested in comparing this big 5's string follow against my other big 5's slight backset (68", 52.8@29, backset boo, modded straight handle).

after about 35 shots through each bow with a pair of woodies, they're too close to call at about 10 yards in terms of feel of draw and release. if the weather warms for tomorrow, as they say it should, i'll get to fling some at 20 and 35 yards.

both of these big 5's sorely need some skinny strings, as well.

Man, that is a beauty! I really love the looks of that Padauk on a Hill bow. Congrats Rob.

Rob DiStefano · February 17, 2011, 04:56:00 PM

i just can't rave enuf about the "new and improved" craig hill locator grip - it's SO comfy and perfect for "web" shooters like me.

Cookus · February 17, 2011, 05:03:00 PM

Very nice woods on that HIll Robert! Excellent choice.

February 17, 2011, 07:38:00 PM

OOOOO! Nice!

You weren't kidding when you said "mirror image".

Good news on the "new" locator - what is new Rob.. aside from missing the "pointy"?

Craig did himself proud again.
