Classic "D" Shape....How Much Performance Do You Give Up?

I offer you the same service as David.  Do you want me to contact Sid to give him my address, or will you get it to him?  LOL!!!!

"How much performance would one give up with a D style bow?"

Well, depends on what you want to hunt. There are two very dead Asiatic Buffalo in Australia that met up with my relatively light 75-pound Howard Hill longbow and two heavy harwood arrows. I could have used a heavier bow, but I went for accuracy over heavy poundage, and it paid off.

A big Asiatic buffalo can be about 350 pounds larger than a cape buffalo. The Hill bow heart shot them both, after slamming through ultra-thick hide and even thicker bone.

If you want to hunt something tougher to kill than that, say Rhino or Elephant, you could buy a "faster" bow, but a Hill bow would also get the job done, AND it would do it with the accuracy for which the Hill bows are famous.

Love them tight groups!
