Hill Style Build-a-long
« on: January 05, 2009, 08:55:00 PM »
I have a thread over at the Bowyers Den. I am building a Howard Hill style bow. Just thought you would be interested.

Thanks,
Joshua

Joshua, that all looks very good. Did you get the riser from Kenny as well? Thanks for sharing. Flint

I got the riser from a friend that was a piece of scrap. It was a pretty piece of wood and cut just about right for the riser.

I have almost completed the bow. Check out the other website to see a video of it bending!

Thanks,
Joshua

Excellent looking bow Josh...I was wondering if that was a straight longbow...or did it have a slight reflex in the limbs...i couldnt tell in the pics.  Great job!

The bow is done and posted pics up at the site. Great shooting and a bunch of fun. BJ, the bow has slight reflex in it. Will be starting a new bow here soon. Thanks Kenny for the great pieces of lumber! ;)

Laterz,
Joshua
