He was here but I had him on a tie out so he wouldn't be tempted to go after any arrows...lol

From these pics Roy, it looks like your right between the green and red stripes for your draw length. Form looks real good brother! Good heel down, and thumb knuckle placement!

Hmm, those other bows all strung and waiting their turn looks like my back yard range.  Always seem to have 2-3 extras ready.

X2 brother!!

I was totally surprised at how short the time was that it took for the new grip to start feeling completely natural.

Now I don't even have to think about it. it's just there.

Thanks Spanky!

God bless,Mudd

That's because it IS natural! The nice thing about these grips is that they do not force your hand into a certain position like pistol grips do...a position that ultimately may not work for you, hence the difficulty in finding THE bow! If given the chance, most people would find a "correctly sized" straight or dished grip to be very natural feeling, pointing, torque free, and consistently repeatable. Not to mention the accellerated learning curve between something that feels natural and something that has to be ingrained!

Great pics Roy! Thanks for sharing your shooting session with us.      

I'm sure that is true Spanky.  

Something else here:  Mr Mudd and I both expereinced a decrease of almost exactly 2" when transitioning to the straight handle and focusing  on a tight form.

For anyone thinking about ordering a hill style longbow coming from any other grip style, you'd better play with a straight grip and take a look at Spanky's form before you order.  It could save you a ton of trouble and some hard earned money.

Wait a minute, you took several ladies to the dance...  Or are they just holding your chair?

 

Just kidding, looks like more fun than I am having painting the kitchen.

Aye Captain!
You have a good eye for detail.

Mr. Mudd has several personalities - they all like to dance!  A few of 'em are down right clever!

Sun coming over tree tops, bow relaxed next to her other half.
 


Following the string. Same Light.
 

[Mudd]

Swampthing, are those the same bow in both pictures?

I have looked several times at the upper picture trying to see the other bow that it's next to but have failed to see anything.

Help me!!! Please!

Thank you!

God bless,Mudd

great camo...can't even see the guys hand!   :p

[swampthing]

They are the same bow, her ther half is the "cedar tree" behind her.

There's nothing quite like seeing Hill bow limbs at full draw.

Truly the epitome of archery!
