Is there a cure yet?  Summer of 2014 I bought my first ASL, now there are 4 on the Bow rack.        

17 on my racks...no cure, just treatment (buying another Hill)

New Sunset Hill Legend model quiver, armguard, and glove. Happy!

Some good looking leather there.

[Vesty]

That is a sweet looking quiver. So Nate is still making them?

[two4hooking]

Yes, Nate still makes them from time to time.  That particular one is a "limited edition" modeled after the construction of the one this gentleman is wearing.    

[Ray Lyon]

Yup, that's a pretty knowledgeable model to follow.

Saxton Pope trick I found useful from Hunting with the Bow and arrow.  Some others may find this tip useful as well when using a Hill Style glove.  

If the glove gets stretched and too loose of course you need to add some extra stitches but to keep the stalls on tight while shooting consider this:

"From time to time oil your tips and always keep them from being roughened or scratched. With a small amount of glue in the tip one has only to moisten his fingers in his mouth and the leather stall will stick on firmly. We have also used lead plaster of the pharmacopoeia for the same adhesive purpose."

While I do not advocate using lead for obvious reasons, I have found that coating the inside of the stalls with soft string wax and moistening my finger as above really works great.

I treat the outside with baby powder also....and initially and once a year or so with pitch blend.

I have to send a kudo and vote for Mr. Steen's quiver.  The one he made for me fits me just great, does everything we want a HH style quiver to do, has proven to be rugged, and seems to be invisibly "there", presenting my next arrow almost instinctively!  Fine and thoughtful craftsmanship, and worth it!

[two4hooking]

Yes, there are lots of little subtleties Nate puts into the design that really make an impact overall I think.

That's why I have another one now    

Merry Christmas to me

I am thinking of another HH style bow. A JD Berry. I am just not sure which one, Vixen or a Misty d
Dawn. I never had a back set bow and I like string follow type that I shot in the past. I also need to find out what the wait time is. I am not real good at that part.

[T-Bowhunter]

I am also thinking about the same Bows.

[Green]

Jeff, if you're a string follow guy, ask James about the Heritage.

[jeffg]

I will have to talk to him I guess on Monday.

[Jim Picarelli]

Nate Steen quiver due in today :-)

 

[WESTBROOK]

Your gonna love that one Jim! Nate's leatherwork is top of the line  

jeffg, James posted a notice that he was closing the books on all of his bows except the Heritage model a while back.  I do not know if that is still in place, if I remember, it was back in November or October.

Thre is Dave Miller and Craig HH, Steve at Northern Mist. Plenty of option if needed
