One more thing,

How many of you have a Hill T/D? I drive an old truck that has a standard cab and it sure would be nice to be able to store one behind the seat(out of sight) someday.

Do they shoot the same the same as the one-piece. I've asked this before but it's been a while back and didn't get too many responses.

Thanks.

Thanks Ben! I really like the ebony with black glass. A guy posted one not long ago on here that he ordered that had a Chechen riser with black glass and elk hide grip - boy what a beauty! I think that will be my combo for the Big 5 i'm planning next.

All the best with that Wesley Irish! Just remember that Hill's are addictive!  :bigsmyl:

No difference in the way the takedowns shoot as long as you can get on with one of the two sizes of grips. If the wide, straight grip doesn't work for you then you'll have to stick with the one-piece bows.

Spanky, the grip on this one is fairly deep from back to belly, but tapers from wide at the back to thinner at the belly.

Maybe that T/D grip would not be too much different.

longshot, those are some nice photos. Looks like you've been busy. Good shootin'  :goldtooth:

Irish , i've had a few t/down Hills . the grips are bigger and rounder . i found them really comfortable and they are built like a tank !
also check out Belcher bows as they are using the socket locket system i believe .
but gee those t/downs are handy .

regards

I have a Tembo TD and the handle is wider and more round but not difficult at all to get used to and you just can't torque that grip if ypou try   :)  The circumference on mine is 5 1/2 inches.  I picked this bow up on a trade and it is the best shooter in my Hill line up actually....Dave

This is the last time up for a T/D in central Ohio to try out, then we'll let it go.
