[shick]

Jim, that sure is a beauty; I'm with Frank, as the Tembo is my favorite also.  Good luck with it.

Liner, Okay so I used to puff on some very expensive pipes loaded with Balkan Sobranie, but i have found that the stuff was better in a corncob with a good bit in it. I just do it now when the bugs are bad.  My new bow will not have the fancy woods and lams, but when I get it, if I live that long, I will declare it to be prettier than yours.  If you disagree, I will declare that some beholders eyes are better than others.

And Pavan, you would be right to say that, but mine will be sexier and stealthier, and deer and turkeys and stumps will DESIRE to be shot by my new bow - they'll HOPE they are worthy of it.  And I'll just quietly smile.

I'm calling PETS on you guys, people for the ethical treatment of stumps

Jim that is awesome looking!!!!!! Do those tips have ebony overlays or is that with out overlays?

[Jim Picarelli]

Ebony overlays and handle

[toddster]

I own a redman and Wesley special and two commemorative bows, thinking of getting one more.
Legend stick, tembo or big five.  thoughts?

[Sam McMichael]

I have a Big 5. It is a nice bow.

My new to me Hill Redman came in the mail today, nice, 45# @ 29" with a silver deer inlay and a slightly dished grip. If it stops raining for 5 minutes I'll go out and shoot it. I think this is going to be a good one.

Ron, tell me about the rain. Lots of liquid sunshine here right now, and snow predicted for later today. Ain't helping the turkey hunting   :mad: .

[ron w]

Turkeys.....???? I thought you shot them all with that Morning Star.

As promised Steve from NM had my new Ramer at Baltimore. What a fantastic bow. The craftsmanship is next to none. So smooth and sweet to shoot, I haven't been able to put her down.

[nineworlds9]

She looks great Jeff!  and I know being that the Ramer is stringfollow she's super quiet and sweet drawing.  Nice!

Just bought my first ASL.  Picked up a Two Tracks Echo off a classifieds page.  Cheap enough to make me give it a try.

Bought a brand new NM classic several months ago and screwed my arm up..... almost sold it but glad I didnt as my arms hardly bothering me at all. Have been working 16hr days and getti g ready to buy a new house..... so hopefully before long Ill finally figure out what I need for arrows and pull the string on it

Houses are dangerous things, twice in recent years I got laid up working on mine.  We were thinking about moving to Wyoming, but I was certain that I would be a cripple moving all of our heavy stuff.  My wife has a thing for leather and hardwood, I still think those plastic lawn chairs that can be bought any where for $4 are as comfortable as anything.

[David Mitchell]

gvdocholiday, I believe you will find that Echo about as nice as any ASL longbow out there.  I think it is one of the more overlooked longbows being made and doesn't get the attention it deserves.

[Sam McMichael]

RC is a really great hunter, but he is great because he does the work. A couple of years ago, at the TBG state shoot, he made a brief talk describing his preparation. He talked of spending much time scouting throughout the year and making notes on individual trees over time as to when they dropped nuts or fruit and several other detailed pre-hunt plans.

if it's the bow I'm thinking of that was a smoking deal for a RHer!

Hill bows are lively but so forgiving!  I can keep my arrows inside a pie plate without hardly a try vs more radical bows if I don't pay half attention I'll spray all over.  They favor quick hunting shots.

My second HH Mamba will be here in a week/two according to Craig.  My first one was 62" 50#@28" for turkeys/blind bow (I actually got my first turkey with it); my second bow will be 66" 52#@28". Hills are the only bows I have now.  They are smooth to draw and are pretty quick.  I was thinking of getting a used Dave Johnson 42# to compare it to but why?  Because of the weight difference they would be hard to distinguish between the bows.
