HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[WESTBROOK]

Todd, 7-7 1/4 works pretty good

[toddster]

okay, seems high but  will try it.

[David Mitchell]

I run almost all of my ASLs at 7" brace.  Works best for me.

@MikeNova you're going to love that bow. Steve's bows are flawless.

Been tinkering around with brace height a little on the shelton. Was initially at 7" but now down to 6.25 and it's quieted down a good bit. I've also come to the realization that my draw length is actually closer to 25.75" to 26" on the hill style which puts my draw weight down around 45#. Thinking of trying some slightly lighter arrows out of it closer to 10 gpp for 3d and fun shooting as my current woodies are 530-540 grains.

Shot a few shots out of the Shelton this morning after tinkering with brace height a little. Seems it likes around just a shade over 6.25".

@HoosierArcher that's the brace height I'm at with my NM Classic.

I'm dreaming up my next HH bow from Craig. I'm thinking a Wesley Special this time; I like 68". Probably around 57-60#, that way most of my present arrows should work. Still working on the details, but I'd love some green glass if Craig has any. He doesn't list it, but he has at least one in stock, so maybe... Ivory tip overlays would sure be pretty. Need to sell another rifle or two that never get used anyway, then I'd have the $$$.

[two4hooking]

Overlays.... why and extra weight to the tips??

[Hoosierarcher88]

I keep on debating between a 7 lakes blank for my next one or a forward handle of some sorts

Papst Blue Ribbon in cans, a whole box of PBR in cans?  Yuk!  I thought all of us Sunset shooters drank organic Earl Grey tea with natural raw honey.

I'm still trying to learn the secret handshake of you Sunset shooters.  Sadly, I don't think I will ever be able to join your club. I am jealous. Nate makes a great bow.

Mine is a duo shooter, when I have a bow in my hand that seems to find the mark on its own and consistently reaches out to 40 yard targets without penalizing me for my minor bad tendencies, the bow gets a lot of field time.  I have another one from JD that does that about as well.  Not talking about superior performance, although the performance is outstanding.  It is something more than that, I am sure there could be a technically heavy explanation, but I don't feel the need to prove what i have repeatedly experienced.   When you get a bow in your hand that seems to shoot itself, you will understand.

Well, I did it - but instead of ordering special I bought an in-stock bow that Craig had listed on his website. It's a 64" Legend Stick bow, 53# @ 26", carmelized riser and limbs, clear glass, green elk handle wrap, dished grip. Can't wait to get it/shoot it. I'll post some pics when it arrives.

I guess I am going to need to tell my buddy that you beat him to it.

My son Cody Hill and his 50 pound Mc Donald Hill style strikes again.  Complete pass through, broken ribs double lung, down in just a few yards.  His way of celebrating Howard Hill's birthday.

[Kopper1013]

Beautiful buck!! Congratulations to Cody

[evgb127]

Does anyone know the history behind the forward (or reverse) handle Hill-style bow?  Did Howard Hill ever shoot one?

[toddster]

If memory serves me (which get's harder and harder),  I believe Mr. Hill was the one who played around with the forward handle idea.
