Alright Hill lovers out there. I am seriously considering a HH bow. It  almost seems like a given, since my last name is Hill. I have had a Bama Hunter that was about the closest thing to a Hill that I have owned. Most of my LB's have been RD bows and I have really enjoyed them.

I am leaning toward one with bamboo limbs. I pulled a Abbott yesterday it was bamboo and smooth as butter. Most of the other woods I have tried and owned seem to stack more. I have not tried yew or osage. Any help would be appreciated.

My two favorite limbs materials limbs a Hill style bow are bamboo and yew. IMHO Yew is super smooth. Whose going to build your new bow?

Nice one Frank!

I would like to find one like that in a LH model to give it a try.

Enjoy!

? For ya. What quiver is that?

The quiver is a Howard Hill Archery.  So is my glove, armquard, and half of the arrows in the quiver.  Tell ya what Those Ekins make some top notch cedar arrows for cheap.  All of the ones he sales are matched to one spine deflection not 5.  I make my own alot but only custom ones will come from them.

Brian that is the lighter weight one and it formed to my back very quickly and works great.  I cut out some outdoor carpet and put it in the bottom to protect it.

Just wanted to say what a great forum this is,especially this Hill thread.
I asked where I could buy a copy of the Shulz DVD a few days ago. I got a bunch of pms and emails offering to sell me(at ridiculously low prices,pretty much just enough to cover packing/postage) Give me for free and even borrow a copy and send it back when I was done.I really appreciate all the offers,thought that's really pretty cool.  :)    :notworthy:

Brian, I purchased the soft leather back quiver from HH archery as well.  It forms to your back right away with no break in period and is very comfortable to wear.  I also put a piece of carpet in the bottom of it and oiled it with a leather protector.  HH archery probably has the best deal going for a very functional, high quality back quiver.
