I agree. I prefer this as a highly visible thread and not a separate forum.

Here's a YES vote for a forum. You can't follow a specific topic through this thing unless you want to make it a life's work. It's fun and I check it daily, but I consider anything posted yesterday as simply lost forever. There are plenty of participants and I think a lot to be gained by the organization a forum would provide. $.02

create an 'hh bug' forum that contains a copy of this entire thread. it would be a 'read only' forum, just used for searching out data. this thread, here on powwow, wouldn't change in any way, and would used as the 'seed' for the thread copy forum.
however, the copy would need to be updated reasonably often, at least once a month ....

I think Rob's suggestion above is a good compromise for all of us. It's a win/win, except for Rob of course since he'd have to do the updates. No worries though this is his full time job. Hey Rob, do we make your head do this sometimes?
I vote YES for this system.

So far as feather wear, shoot instinctively and play with head weights if you can. I usually try 125, 160, 190 gr. Try to make the arrow do something predictable and then tweak it until perfect. I use arrow impact with broadheads to guide my actions. Then field points will be really close of the same weight. Sometimes a 145 piled pt will be good when a 160 broadhead was perfect so there can be variation for example. I say shoot instinctively because you don't want to correct impact location by aiming, but by arrow tuning. That's what I do, hope I was more clear than MUDD (no offense MUDD)!

So I guess I didn't mention impact left is stiff shaft, impact right is weak with broadheads. Up and down is nock pt adjustment. Make sure flight and impact is consistent and perfect and shoot at 20 yds so there is room for the arrow to react fully. Nock too low will cause more issues than too high

That sounds like the way to go to me but I haven't been a major contributor on this thread.

that wouldn't matter one bit. what matters is that any trad gang member can search directly through this thread alone for something very specific about howard hill bows, and all matters that pertain to american flat longbows.

Nice one Robbo ! And none too soon I reckon, that way the newbies who are destined to become Hil style bow shooters [ although they might not know it yet ] can navigate through some great information !
Thanks again mate ......
Awesome .
