HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

Does anyone know if Nate Steen is accepting bow orders? Burt

Carbons work well and there pretty durable, I know you have to set them up a lot weaker than you think.

But all said and done give me my woodies back, I don't think they are any better but I like them more. If for no other reason than they just go with a Hill style bow.

As far as durability goes, Id like to know how people break wood arrows so easy. I shoot a lot of stumps and such and miss 3D targets as much as the next guy but I rarely break one. I've sent a woody into some horrific crashes and have seen others do the same, but they seem to survive just fine.

And the last reason, as insignificant as it may be, I make my own woodies and manage to get a few that look pretty decent. But you cant dress up a carbon or aluminum arrow, its like putting a gold earing on a hog.

Food for thought! An arrow does not have to be perfectly straight in order to fly well!

An engine crankshaft turns true on it's axis and so does an arrow. If the ends align and the forward of center is sufficient, a bamboo or other arrow can have great flight as far as accuracy from point a to b. It may not spin or transfer it's energy as sufficiently as a straight arrow, but can make up for it in kinetic energy due to mass. (weight)

That's an interesting point Dave - I observed that myself when I switched to wood and began tuning.

Nice doe Greg! Yum, tasty back straps.

Stefan,
That is a sharp Hill Style there. Love the 1899 connection to Hill history. Great idea.

Just an FYI, you can go back and edit your original post using the edit tab at the top you post. Keeps you from having to correct via a new post. Believe me...it is the most used tab I have at my disposal.

Hey Hill Gang - Today was a good day.  I killed my biggest buck ever with a Hill Style bow I made.  This is also the first buck I've killed with a homemade bow.  I certainly didn't make the best of shots, but it was steady blood trail that came to a great conclusion.
