HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Moots]

I just love the design of the Argos, but this Heritage is different from anything I have ever shot.  And Rob, I find myself drifting towards ASL's again.  Thanks.

Rob.....not to complicate things for you and James, but he built me an Argos last year that had a Hill style handle.  Awesome bow....just awesome.

I've kind of been holding out on you guys. I did have my first HH kill this season. I killed a turkey in early November on the ground with no blind. One of the coolest experiences I've had. The next day I shot a buck a little high, and didn't recover it. I was so upset I put my HH down and didn't touch it the rest of the season. I wasn't blaming the bow, just myself for not being proficient enough with the bow. I went back to a recurve and shot 3 under. Long story short, that didn't help either.

I decided to get it out this week and shoot it again. Man did I miss shooting that bow. I can't explain it. I just picked it up and looked at what I wanted to hit. It was almost effortless, and much more fun than "aiming" with my recurve. I've been shooting better than I have for months since picking the HH up again. I have the drive to go hunting again. Hopefully this month I can get out and hunt some rabbits and squirrels.

Went to small outdoor show today. Found a copy of Hitting'em Like Howard Hill book.....the said he would take 50 cents for it......I gave him a buck. Also picked up a nice arm guard for 5 bucks.

Seeing as how this is my favorite thread to "lurk" on, and posting has been a little slow lately, so I'll pose a fun question for you...

Chris Hartwig of Newwood Longbows is making me one of his string follows and my number has come up.
I have no idea yet what wood/glass combos I'm going to use.  I think that the green glass back with a white belly with perhaps a coco or rosewood riser looks good.
Or I was thinking a white belly with a lighter myrtle riser and back veneer?
Or do I skip the white glass...?
So just for fun, if you were me, what would be your preference? Sky's the limit.

Green and black glass with a coco riser would look really good I think.

NBK, the classiest looking longbow I own is one that was made by John Schulz--an American Longbow Trophy Hunter.  It has bamboo limb cores that are a honey color, myrtle riser and brown glass. To each his own and you have to pick what you want  to be looking at for years to come (if you keep the bow). Choices are great but my son often refers to "option fatigue" when confronted with lots of choices.

Lots of choices......I want my next bow to have myrtle handle and white glass all around!

BTW Snow finally melted enough for me to get our with these freshly made POC stumpers!

Yeah, I thought I saw a Sunset Hill on one of these pages with a myrtle riser and white glass that was timeless.

Proud to be able to finally join this thread.  I had obtained a Wesley Special in a trade a few months back.  Loved it! But now I wanted a new one so sold that one and just placed an order for a new one with Jason at HHA.  She's gonna be all black.  64" and 54# @ 27.  Black Glass on back and belly with a Macassar Ebony riser and limb tip overlays.  Can't wait!

X2...I have a Shulz/HH Tembo with brown glass, honey colored boo and a Myrtle riser...and it is sharp!
