HH bug got me ... Part One!

[David Mitchell]

Hey, Ben and sou-pawbowshooter, don't forget, some of the rest of us will be watching for those lefty bows to start showing up as well. Heck, we can't get Nate to take any orders now!

Chris,
If you want to hunt with a HH in a tree, you need to consider the Tree Saddle. Since there is no platform, hand rails, or arm rest you have the clearance to shoot whatever length of bow you like. I had my first HH bowkill last year using my Tree Saddle.

Does anyone have pictures of a crocodile hill? Mudd's Osage royal has planted a seed in my brain that I can't seem to shake     Perhaps my bug needs a little more medicine courtesy of Mr. Ekin!

[Mudd]

Wade I'd bet it would be awesome with Osage.

There's something about hedge that just tweaks my eyes.

God bless,Mudd

I have been thinking I need a yew/honey locus bow.  I think I will wait till Craig is not so busy with you guys, it may take a little calculating to come up with the faster taper and leaner limb design with a reverse handle that I want.

Now that sounds like a sweet combination!!

Wow, been away a little and the thread is still steaming right along! Amazing!

With a 45# HH can Craig cut it to center??

I cut a 37 pound at 26 inch Cheetah to 1/8" off center so it would have a better range for stiffer arrows. It has been a number of years and the bow is still going strong.  I have two heavier Hills that are also cut to 1/8" from center with no problems, again I did it to allow for stiffer heavier arrows.

Got my hill tuned pretty good and its shooting great.  I have noticed that a consitant anchor is very important.  I needed to get one anyhow.

I havent received my Robin hood 70 inch 50 @ 28(I draw 29.5)from craig yet.  What do you think it will feel like from shooting my 49@ 28 64" Toelke Whip?

[ChrisM]

Well my transition what I noticed was a firmer feel upon release.  Not a shock but a feeling of power that makes it easier to continue pushing against it.  The lack of sound takes alittle to get used to for me 'cause my brain keep thinking something was missing from the shot.  I will tell you that when the first arrow comes out spinning perfectly with a blurr of feathers you will be hooked.

Man, that's some figured juniper if I ever saw it.  Striking!  

[ChrisM]

Wow that is beautiful!!!!  I knew the cheetas were nice but that one is nice.

[SpankyNeal]

@ Jesse ... Nice mate  !That Juniper , as Dave said is beautiful . what specs is it ?

@ MT ... having just orederd a Toelke Whip I am asking the same question but in reverse ! The main difference you'll notice is that girls will find you more attractive and that everyone will want to be your friend ... lol

The difference will be more 'bump' at the shot and if a straight grip was ordered , you'll notice a that it wil take a bit more notice of how you grip the bow to be consistent ... but it won't take long and if like so many others on this thread you stick with it , you'll find it about the most forgiving and accurate bow inyour rack.
