Well I got my new Hill style bow this weekend at the KYTradFest. Steve Turay of Northern Mist Longbows brought it down from U.P. setting up as one of the venders. I memtioned ordering it a "boo quoo" of posts ago. It's a 66", 55 lbs. at 28",tembered bamboo(peanut-butter colored limbs), Shelton with green glass on the belly and back, Maccasar ebony risor and tip and grip overlays. It is a two piece takedown using the connection hinge.

Steve modifys the hinge so you don't have slide in sidways like on a Mohawk. You just push the upper and low sectoins at a angle straight in then assemble and string the bow. It's hard to notice that its a 2 pc. with a connection hinge.

It has a straight grip but it has a palm swell on the bow hand side of the grip. It acts as a locator grip with a straight grip look. You only notice the swell when you grip the bow. a really comfortable feel. Thought "Rob D" might appreciate that touch.

I really like it. Reallizing a photo would be better than all the above verbage, but can't do  photos right now. May need a little help cause I can't get on "p" bucket for awhile!

Steve built a beautiful bow. Hope photos to come soon.

The Old Guy,

I am in almost 100% in agreement.

The only word I would change of Tony's is "tough".

It would be replaced with "impossible" and I would add that anyone who has even one good friend is truly blessed.

God bless,Mudd

Larry-

Beautiful bow, and Steve did a wonderful job with the connexion hinge.

Congrats,

beautifu! cannot wait for mine.

My longbows with straight grips have the palm bias as well.  Not something that is easy to do on a new bow, but it is what worked for me.  My son shot the Northern Mist bows at Waterloo and told me that Steve really knows his stuff.  He fell in love with a Whisper Stick, that he said just fell into his hand when he shot it.  Nice bows.

Wow! The green glass is killer! Nice!

[WESTBROOK]

Larry that is a Beaut!!

Larry, I love that bow, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bow Larry!

Steve T. will be a vendor at the Howard Hill Sotheastern Classic Shoot in Tannehill Alabama the first weekend in June.  I'm really looking forward to trying some Northen Mist bows while I'm there.

Any of you die hard Hill shooters attending that event?

I would love to go, but unfortunately it's hard to get those days off on the calender at work.

Here is one of my 1st attempts at a trick shot.

I put a pull tab on a broken arrow shaft, then from 12 yards I made this shot with my Osage Royale.

 

 

Thanks for looking!

God bless,Mudd

[stik&string]

Mudd way to go!      

[canopyboy]

Well Done!          

I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that there weren't any arrows pulled before the picture was taken....      

Mudd is ready for the big time.  Who volunteers to toss coins for Mudd?  Nice shot.  I need to try that one.
