I'm thinking maybe Howard Hill archery would make you one as well. Worth a call at least. I'm really enjoying the one I just finished. In fact, I just glued up another one today.

Hill Archery makes them. They just don't have any pictures.  Miller can also make them.

Thanks Ron, I'll take that as a compliment. This one will have a combination of sassafrass and walnut in the limbs. Belly side walnut stained sassafrass veneer, osage/phenolic riser, black glass on the back.

Burt, whoever makes your bow I think you'll really like the forward riser. I personally like the way J.D. Berry does his riser. Steve at Northern Mist does excellent work and will be at Baltimore in May if you can make it. He usually has a few Whispers on the rack. Hill probably has the quickest turnaround.

Craig, at HH Archery, has made forward handle LB's in the past on special order. A 62", 44@28 sold here within the last 60 days. Wish I had bought it but just couldn't make up my mind. Give Craig a call. Great guy and a straight shooter.   :thumbsup:

Eaglewing Archery has one that I've been intrigued with (although I've always liked Steve's Whisper).

I've never even considered a forward handled Hill, but Hatrick has really got me thinking.
Live and let live.
