Got my new Hill today!!!

[Apex Predator]

Never even shot a Hill before, but knew I had to have one after Robert Carter spoke so highly of them. I shot Mojo, which is a home-made bow of his that really trips his trigger and really liked it. It's amazing what the recommendation from a friend will do for you! The anticipation of getting home and shooting it is killing me! It's a Wesley Special 67" 55@28. I'll post some photos later to comply with the "law".

I really like this one.  Five lams of bamboo makes it carry like a feather.  The grip is supposed to be slightly dished, but looks straight to me.  No matter, it shoots great like it is!  It may not be fast, but it sure slings those heavy arrows I like fast enough.  Super smooth draw, and I notice no hand shock to speak of.  The boo is lighter in color than I expected.  It's almost white!  May be trying my first snake skinning job soon.  I shot it alongside my new homemade BBI, and I was impressed that my bow wasn't too far off!  They sure feel similar on the draw.  Mine is heavier mass wise and about three pounds lighter on the draw.  Mine is quieter, which suprised me some.  Here are some photos.

Apex:  Nice bow.  That's about as much dish as Craig puts into the handle.  It is fairly similar to a straight grip, but not quite straight.  Are you shooting dacron or fast flite?  I've found a light grip on a Hill reduces just about all felt hand shock, and a fast flite string reduces it even more.  Have fun.  There's something mystical about shooting a Hill.

You can't beat the classic looks of a Hill style longbow. Good luck with your new bow.

nice looking bow.... Congrats

[SpankyNeal]

I'll second the FF string! It's pretty amazing the difference it makes. Use D97 on both of mine and love it.

I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy that one, I'm curious about the shelf on your bow is it very shallow?

[Apex Predator]

It's not shallow, but not cut to center either.  That little lip is pretty cool though.  It allows you to shoot vertical if so inclined, but I like a good 2 o'clock cant myself.
