Oh Nate if you get a call from a Andy in SC he's a friend of mine I assisted him on his gator hunt last year and he's doing the same for me this year. He's a gun hunter but I have been letting him play my Schulz bow and I think he's getting into it and I'm trying to talk him into getting you to make him a bow!
Aligator armguard, that just sings!

Love Hill style bows!! Simple, lightweight and tough as nails.
I like that pic of you next to the corn Ron, it reminds me of quite a few hunts around here.
Here is my only harvest to date with a Hill style bow. It's a 60# Martin Mountaineer during late winter in Yankee Springs. Not many bunnies out there anymore but you get lucky once in a while.

Here's a vintage video clip demonstrating the versatility of a 70" Hill bow. The target is a steel bionic bear with an 8" hole in the kill area.
