Hill Style Bows

[WESTBROOK]

My Northern Mist bows treat me purty well. I still have to try a Hill, also a Liberty English sounds like it would be sweet. At time like this I wish I lived "closer to town", dont get to try too many bows. Thats why I look forward to K'zoo and Comptons, its a bow free-for-all!

Buckster, you could get away with 64" or 66". I pull 29" and have a HH Wesley that is 66" and shoot it just fine. Best thing to do is talk to the bowyer you want to go with.

[GingivitisKahn]

HH all the way.  :-D

Howard Hill all the way or a bow from Marty "Apex".

My favorite would be a David Miller.I have a Schulz bow made by Johns two sons made of Bamboo and my brother has a bamboo bow made by the master John himself.David learned how to build the american longbow from John.I want a bow that is as close to the way Howard would have made them.

Does Sunset Hill have a website? I could not find it with a search.

Finally ordered myself a Miller Glass string follow bow after talking them up for over 2 years. Should have it in April hopefully. I have shot everything else mentioned and went with a Miller. There is something sweet in them bows just cannot put my finger on what it is maybe the correct tempering of the bamboo. Good luck and have fun with whatever you choose. Flint

I just picked this fine Hill bow up today in a snow storm. Its a Wild Boar #10 of 50. Bamboo lams with a red elm lam down the center. I have been shooting 18-20 yds in the basement and I feel Howard is here shooting with me- I am really stack em in there! Here she is-

In the above pictures, things worked pretty well despite a severe quartering away, down-hill shot and a brace height that was too high!

Here she is with a better brace height:
 

I sure like my Howard Hill Redman (but heck, I like most of my bows)!

Ben, in that third pic down is that a pass through I'm seeing?  Looks like I can make out the arrow angling down to the lower left.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Yep, that's the pass-through; he made 20 metres before going down. Tony Jensen took the photo.

Mine's a halfbreed (yew on the outside) but those Cheetahs look super cool.

[Jerry Jeffer]

My favorite Mahantango Hill style bow.

I really love Howard Hill Bows, I have the Halfbreed, and will likely order a Big 5 in the future.
