HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

Haha, no worries possum! I hope you love yours as I love mine. All I shoot now are ASL's, so if you want free advice? Forget everything about the recurves. I came to learn that Hill style bows want to be shot how they want to be shot. Good luck!

Once you accept that fact, its pretty smooth sailin' from there.

great thread!

Hello all, sorry been gone so long.  I am thinking of playing with some fiberglass shafts.  Anyone played with them on a longbow for deer hunting?

[Ray Lyon]

Todd, I've used the vintage Microflite's successfully. They make a heavy, tough arrow.

[toddster]

Thanks, I have played with bowfishing arrows some, will continue to tweek, I know that Monty Browning used them on his grizzly.  Will report back my arrow adventure.  Don't get me wrong, I still love wood shafts.

Toddster, I played around with some bowfishing arrows on my heavy hills but discontinued the testing when I lucked into about 100 autumn orange aluminums at a garage sale. I've found that I have a little more tunability with the aluminums stuffed with a carbon, although the fiberglass arrows sure smacked the target hard.

Notice, I am not getting a new bow this year, so those on the JD list behind me can all take one step forward in the line.  Enough bows is enough bows.

I told myself this almost three years ago, and to my own amazement I stuck to it. In fact about two years ago I got myself down to just 1 bow, a HHA bow dubbed "lightening". However, now that HHA is offering green glass I have been tempted many a times to pick up the phone.

A question for you guys. When I shoot a recurve or deeper shelf longbow they seem to naturally point. When I shoot my Wesley I notice I aim more. My arrows point is generally a foot or so right of the target and way lower than any other bow I've shot. Not that it's not accurate, I've Robin hooded a few arrows and shot my best 3d score with it. And long Shota are much easier. Just an observation and wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if this is typical

The wife said that I have to get rid of at least three of my longbows before I can buy a new Robertson Wolfer or Overdrive.  I cannot even give them away.  The Hill wave must over around here, just a passing fancy and in time may go.

I could not find any listings of yours in the classifieds.  What are you trying to sell?  Send me a PM (rather than post on Pow Wow) if you have some ASL's to sell.

I just got off the phone with Mike at 7 lakes archery, he is going to be sending me a string follow bow, cann't wait, heard great things about his work.

Just heard from Brian @ McBroom bows, my dual shelf reverse handle longbow will be glued up shortly. Can't wait to get this in my hands, may have to take it in the woods this fall.

[Sam McMichael]

ron, please show plenty of pics when your dual shelf arrives. I am a little ticked off at you guys who like them so much. I was perfectly happy being interested in only "standard" designs. Then Crispin Henry showed up at a shoot with a reverse handle, which caught my attention. Then I started looking at them closely. Now here you are talking about this one. Now, I am getting very interested in having one myself.

I'm sorry to tick you off Sam......    I think your going to like this one.
