Howard Hill Wesley Special

I think that bow will work very well for you. As far as hunting the only problem you might have is with a pop-up ground blind.

Welcome to the 'Gang! I can't add to what the fine feller's above have said, except that I have converted to Hill style bows almost exclusively this past year and love 'em! There's magic in their simplicity and beauty in the graceful lines of them at full draw.

Have fun on the journey, and good luck on the Elk hunt!

Perfect for you

Welcome to the Hill gang. Your form may adjust some to that bow, if you are not familiar with them. Here is a video of a long armed dude that has only a 28" draw for you to get a mental picture of how it all can look.                 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFqjNKC72dA&feature=related

It should work out very well for you. I have a 69" Hill Halfbreed that is marked 45@29. I pull it to 31". It really is a touch too short for me, but it is an incredible bow. I prefer a 70-72" bow.

I also have a 70" Cheetah. It is marked 50@28 and I pull it to about 30.75". The difference in draw length between the two is in the style of grip. The Halfbreed has a dished grip that I built out a touch to fit my hand. The Cheetah has the stock locator grip.

I've been shooting some Arrow Dynamics Trad Lites and Hammerhead Lites out of both of them. I'd shoot wood, Surewood are my first choice, but I need to extend them for them to work, so, until I add some footings, I'll use the ADs.  

Anyway, you want to use a heavy arrow out of your bow. I'd recommend trying the Hammerhead Lites. Full length, they are 32.5" from the throat of the nock to the end of the insert. Using a 200 grain point will put them at around 640 grains. Plus, they are as tough as any shaft on the market. They are really easy to tune, too. In fact, all you need to do it put a point on, adjust your nock height, and go shoot.
