Anyone build a 58" Hill style longbow???

here you go.... it can be done easy enough. But what kind of draw lengh do you have?

 

 

Side by side with a Hill bow.

my friend has a 30 inch draw and has a 68 inch hill ilet him shoot my 70 " hill he said hey i dont feel finger pinch with your bow and it feels lighter!it was 5 lbs heavier at his draw .nothing new here its all been worked out probably thousands of yrs ago.the other ephiphany is the bow too heavy to shoot i fell for that one myself.there are a lot of nice hybrids out there that would work great imho

There absolutely no reason in the world to have finger pinch at 30" on a 68" bow.....

Now THAT is funny...        
if you believe that i got some beach front property in Utah i'll sell you...

Its not exactly a Hill Style Bow. But here is a link to my 61 Inch tip-to-tip Red Chavez Bitteroot Longbow. 62#@28. ( 59 inch string groove to string groove) Draws smooth as butter, no stacking that I can feel.

Riley,  That is a good looking bow there.    I'd love to see a picture of that one at full draw.

Judging from the looks of those limbs and the location of the working portion, I'll bet that thing really smokes an arrow too.

kirk, its no slouch, thats for sure. As soon as I get my camera working again I will post a pic at full draw.
Best regards

I would give Jd Berry a call and get a vixen. Its an American longbow. Very smoooooooth and the best craftsmanship bare none.
