Wonderful photo Dragonheart!

I have my first child on the way.... When my wife broke the news to me my first thought was "hunting buddy!!!" I'm already looking at youth bows.

Jeff-

It sounds like you and your daughter had an awesome time together.

Your form looks good too!

BTW-
pm me your number, my phone was stolen back in Oct. and I lost all my contacts.

We had a blast watching all of the birds and shooting longbows.  We found a ton of tracks along a fence-line.  Howard Hill Cub has been a great longbow for her.  It is yew and cocabolo handle.  Her former bow was a tradgang gift to her.  That longbow is now passed on to her younger sister that is 3.  She has a great attitude about shooting and she gets on to me when I take it too serious.  I have posted photos before, and she is more excited about being out hunting.  Congrats to you nineworlds9, and Blaino on the coming new little archers!

Thanks for the info on the bear cubs.

Ok, like I said, I'm trying to trade one of my bow for a Hill Style bow, I draw 30", with my 68" R/D longbow, ANd was wondering which length should I get? I was thinking at least 69"... What do you think? I have one interested in the trade but he has only 68" bows?!?!?

Thank you for your help.
Cheers
David

David,my draw is 32" I have a 68"and a 70" like them both.

[Steve Clandinin]

Dave,I draw 27-1/2".my RD bows are 66,with Hills I like 68" better,thats just me,I'd go at least 68 at your draw,I think 70 would be better.

[David Yukon]

Thank you guys, I will see what these guys have to offer me... Hope it is good!
Cheers

Dave I have a 29" draw on a straight grip Hill and have shot 66", 68" and 70". though it is a personal preference on the Hill bows I found the 70" the most comfortable all around

[David Yukon]

Mike, that is what I thought!!  I know it is a matter of preferences, but I'm sure 70" would be better... But harder to come by!
Thank you

I pull my 69" Schulz to 30.75 inches regularly. If you really want to try a Hill, I would give the 68" a shot. If you don't like it, you can sell it or trade it off pretty easily unless it is a super light or heavy weight.

Put some slack in the line and shoot the 68"

[tradlongbow]

I only shoot 68" Hill bows, that length fits me perfectly.

Looks like he's really watching that anchor close Bic. I need a good coach to help me with my form. How much does he charge? No wonder you shoot so well.
