Terry, since the bow is a bit heavy, I was wondering if you got any special critter to get after with the Hill?  Something big??  Inquiring minds want to know   :banghead:

Yep I shot a Hill bow a couple of times. There is just something about them bows. Think I'll take a peek at that E place and see what up for bids.  :bigsmyl:  <><

Skyler's bow (Don thought it would be his    :banghead: ) is 62" and draws 46@28.  Rosewood dymondwood with actionboo cores and double carbon.    He is absolutely shooting the lights out with it    :goldtooth:    :goldtooth:

For anyone who is looking, there are several nice Hills on the Hill Site classified page right now.

 www.howardhilllongbowmen.com

go to HH Classifieds

Like someone said above, there is just something about these bows.    I had a lot of different bows early on, but i just settled into Hills like a big dog with his own futon.

I just got a Hill Halfbreed, and it is a shooter. I normally shoot 3-under, but that somehow seems wrong with a Hill bow. Even shooting split (which I haven't done in years), I was making some pretty good groups with it first time I took it out. Very, very quiet too. Nice bows, enjoy yours!

OH at work hit it right on the head. HH bows just have a feeling. Sort of the essence of why I gave up the compound, no gadgets, simple.
