Black glass Big Five ...
Can you say "classic " ?
It just symbolizes what i consider to be a ' longbow'..
Specs Rob ? Looks like an older one .....

Ben Maher · January 28, 2011, 05:26:00 AM

And if ya'll get Craig here at Tradgang ... tell him I'll order me a new t/d Redman just to celebrate it ...
And if that is the case ...
after nearly 700 posts on this thread alone .....
perhaps a group order special edition ?

My vote would be a
Redman
String Follow
Ebony Riser ...

What say you fellow Hillsters ?

Is this extortion by Longbow purchase power ?

yep, and old one - 68", 50# @ 29", handle reworked from the old wedge/teardrop to rounded, bow refinished after adding a lace-up elk hide grip and arrow shelf plate.

Rob, you are the Trad Techie...I have a question: Is it possible to have a thread accessed (not just "read only") from two different forums? Can you mirror this one to be alive in two places?

That would be too cool!

it would be cool, but not possible since a true mirrored thread would need simultaneous updating and this, or any other forum software, couldn't do that.

It looks that HH is the most popular brand here!

Oh...too bad!
Well, I haven't been here long enough to have a vote - y'all do your thing and don't forget to leave some directions. This is the first thread I look for and sometimes the only one..

My wife thinks I am nuts. Staring at pictures of what she thinks is the same bow...over 'n over. I agree with her...LOL :p

Claymore · January 28, 2011, 07:08:00 AM

Thanks Rob and Ben for the help.

Rob DiStefano · January 28, 2011, 07:11:00 AM

lovely bow there, clyde - my paduak risered big 5 due to ship next week.

Claymore · January 28, 2011, 07:22:00 AM

Can't wait to see it myself.

Nice Cougar!! I've never tried honey locust in a bow before. How does it compare to the other wood/bamboo combo limbs from Craig?

This Houard Hill site has been around for some time, and is excellent http://www.howardhillshooters.com/

that's trad gang member dick wightman's site, which mirrors to his www.howardhilllongbowmen.com - one of the best hill sites on the web, and dick is one of the biggest hill fans around, not to mention a fine bowyer of hill style longbows for his own muse and pleasure.

Rob and claymore beautiful bows.Claymore could we see the limb pictures?

sorefingers · January 28, 2011, 08:18:00 AM

I have had some D bows but never owned or shot a HH yet. Must be something to them guess I will have to check it out. Never know I may get bit too

imo, there is a significant difference 'tween r/d "D" and "hill style D" longbows. this has been covered already in a topic that compares mohawk and howard hill longbows ...

hh and mohawk
