Hill Tembo
« on: August 06, 2016, 03:19:00 PM »
On Tuesday I drove up to Tribes Hill, NY. I swapped a bow with Ron W. I swapped a 56" recurve for a 72" Hill Tembo longbow.

Went out and shot it today (first chance). I love this bow. At 20 yards the grouping speaks for it self.

Ron you're not getting it back!!!!

I like the pretty blue arrows......   :biglaugh:   I'm glad it all worked out Lee. It was nice to meet and chat with you. That lil' Foley is kind'a neat......quick to. The Tembo looks like it agrees with you. At 72" I didn't know if it would fit in your car.......lol

I love the bow, just wish it was a tad bit cooler. My employees got a hair cut this morning too.

The Tembo seems to one of the more favorite bows coming out of Howard Hill Archery. Glad to see another Longbow shooter in the county.  Brian.

What is the poundage ? I keep hearing that
Despite having only two lams of boo it shoots as well if not better than the Wesley. Only queston I 'd have is the maneuverability of 72 inches .

Mike you are right 3 lams of boo. Bow is 51 @ 29, my draw is 27. 72" is long for sure, but it is manageable. I hunt from the ground so shouldn't be a problem.

Ron told me you lived close by. He said he thought you were busy  in your brown uniform.
