Not really but in a matter of a few weeks they will be. Get in touch with Nate.

Thanks all. I was talking about his lower priced models and not the one he just came out wit last year or so. They looked like they have straight limbs and I have seen them referred to as a Hill Style on here a few times, that's why I asked.

As for the grips, no way I could go with grips like you described, I prefer the kind of grip Mr. LaClair posted pics of on his Shrew Hill.

As for getting in touch with Nate, is he coming out with a TRUE HILL STYLE bow in a couple weeks?  C'mon, spill the beans.  Inquiring minds want to know!!

Thanks all for the help.

I almost forgot, the Dave Johnson bows are beautiful!   I never tire of seeing pics of his cedar bows. I would love to have one too!  He's a great guy to talk to and very helpful. He's got a website with contact info on it. It'll come up on Google. Sorry but I can't remember the address.

Yes. May take a little more than a couple of weeks though.

Hill style bows are getting to be a lot like 1911 45's. They are a proven tool thats been around a long time and it seems all the cool kids are going to be making them.

Yep.

That means more cool toys

Does anyone know the recommended brace height for a 70 in.Shrew Hill? Thanks Norml

[Charlie Lamb]

6" give or take. That's usually a good place to start on most Hill style bows.

[David Mitchell]

I run my 68" ShrewHill at 6 3/4" brace. That's right about where it was when I got it from Ron.

Thanks. Norm

Mr. LaClair,

I tried to follow the link, but could not find your post.  You sir, are kind of a hero of mine in the "Trad" deal.  I wish you many many seasons afield to enjoy the great outdoors; and to continue to inspire and mentor those of us coming up behind you!

Sincerely,
Kevin

Haven't had one of these in a long time... yep that's a busted nock.

 

10 yards in the basement working on form with my Schulz. Those arrows are all feathers touching. I wasn't trying to hit anything in particular. I am trying to focus on good form and doing the same thing consistently. Apparently I was consistent on that end of three arrows!

[Red Tailed Hawk]

Nice shooting Khardrunner!!!

[LEWIS VADEN]

Would it be ok to use a padded loop D97 string on a Tembo that does not have tip overlays?  There is one in the classifieds 40#@28"  What do you Hill owners think the actual wt. would be 43 to 44?

Thanks!

I've had several Hill bows all manufactured in the last year or so and the marked weight has been in agreement with my digital scale.. Within a pound or so anyway..

[khardrunner]

If you have the phenolic/glass wedge in the tips you should be fine. Most of Craigs bows if not all of them are FF compatible. Overlays are simply for aesthetics.
