HH bug got me ... Part One!

[newtotrad]

Rob,
Thank you for the advice. I think leaning to a longer length is probably the best.

John Schulz has a 26" draw and prefered a 68" bow in his book Hitting them like Howard Hill.

I have owned both 68" and 70" Hills, draw 30" and perfer the 68" over the 70". The 68" just feels more crisp on release to me. But this is really splitting hairs. Either way you can't go wrong. I have owned at least eight Hills in one model or another and all one piece / locator grips. With that said, my most recent Hill is the Cheetha in a take down with the small sleeve that I really like the best so far. And I'm more of a recurve shooter so that says something for the t/d straight grip. Good luck and have fun with whatever you decide, most likely you buy more than one anyways LOL

newtotrad, I agree totally with Rob's advice

[newtotrad]

Thanks for all the input guys.

Sixby if you want to start making this style let me know I'm really starting to want one with Osage and Yew limbs with a Walnut or Black Locust riser.

You guys are going to ruin my bank account.  I'm going to have to stop overpaying my monthly due on my truck so I can have money to buy more bows.

Well, we finally got a break in the rain and 'ole Mr. Sunshine decided to peak in on us. So, the obvious thing to do was take a break from the arrow building and go shoot my "Owl".


I LOVE THE BEND OF A STRAIGHT LIMB "D" BOW!  

[Rob DiStefano]

nice form, tw - good arm extensions and everything is lined up parallel with the shaft.  now where's yer bow cant?  

and yeah, the bent "D" limbs and the back quiver are "traditional bowhunting".  

[Wannabe1]

Rob it's just the angle. The bow is canted but, not real exaggerated. If you look closely at the lower limb, you will see it's actually outside of my left leg. Thanks for the compliment, coming from you, that means a lot.    

[longbowben]

Thats what im talking about.Nice picture  

[Wannabe1]

Not to tie this thread in with the carbon arrow thread but, those are AD Trad Lites with approx. 190gr up front and, they were flying straight and hitting pretty darn hard. I had to change the point weight when I first started but, it worked like a charm!
