HH bug got me ... Part One!

Spring turkeys if I'm lucky Chris!

@knawbone - maybe we can get together sometime this year and you can try it out first hand?

@goshawkin - I've had an all bamboo Schulz and currently have be with brown glass - both sweet shooters! The Miller stringfollow (glassed) is as sweet in the hand as the all natural though, best of both worlds!

Bud and Pavan,

When I make the Hill quivers,  I cement an additional insert layer of leather on top (for the inside) of the bottom of the quiver so it's 2 layers.  I also make the bottom a bit too big, and make it flex inward all the way around the quiver bottom as i lace so that it minimizes the broadhead contact with lacing.  It makes the bottom about 1/4 inch above the true bottom of the quiver. In fact, I just add a very thin layer of leather or foam on top of that and have never had a broadhead cut a lace, or punch through.  It doesn't look quite as clean because I am flexing the leather a bit, but it hides the lacing from sharp heads.

I have a very nice quiver from Steven Catts, and I copied this from his design.  (I'd love to take credit   )

"Slim Girl" arrived.
Miller Sage 47#@28 66",
 Slight string follow, with a straight grip.

Nice Ralphie  

[Mudd]

Pretty sweet looking girl you have there Ralphie!

I know that the pictures don't do it justice even though photography is what you do.

These Sage bows are just sweeter in person.

God bless,Mudd

[Goshawkin]

Nice bow Ralph!

[Ralphie]

Thanks guys,
the Sage you now have, Mudd is indeed a stunner.
On this Hawk;
The concave/convex construction is surely different.
 
Makes for a faster, flatter shooting bow than all the other Millers, ( Except the Expedition)

AWHHHH,now you're killing me Ralph! That's it I'm getting on the list for a Hawk.  :D

[Ralphie]

I hope that helps  ....

It was a bad day for shooting pictures ... plus I needed to set up "Slim Girl". So I did not shoot the normal compliment of photos
 more to come .....

That bow looks awesome, love those bamboo backs with the nodes.

Been playing with my new Dave Johnson I got a couple weeks back.  I have to say I have struggled with it a bit.  I could tell it wanted to shoot but I just couldn't be consistent enough to make it shoot well consistently.  I got a new FF string Monday to replace the B50 string that came with it as I damaged the B50 string a bit.  All I can say is what a difference the new FF string made.  It's like a totally different bow.  For the past 3 nights since I put the new FF string on my groups are tight in the center of target.  It's easy.  I did not really spend anytime tuning with the B50 string as I really just wanted to get the feel of the bow before I started messing with things.  I guess this new string just jives with the bow and my arrows.  My previous FF experiences on my other HHA bows were nice but nothing nearly as dramatic as this.  I am very pleased now.  Not only did Dave Johnson build one beautiful bow, it shoots like a dream.  It's going to be a fun summer.

I have definitely discovered "HAWK-envy"....

I would have to sell a bow to get on the list....

I wonder if anyone has experience with BOTH a Sunset Hill and a Miller HAWK?  And how they might compare to one another?

Anyone?

Shoot straight,  Shinken

   

[Ralphie]

Like comparing a Maserati to a Ferrari.

Craig -

I have two of Dave's red cedar bows and would not take anything for either. Both are top of the line. Superb cast and extremely accurate.

[Mudd]

Danny is so correct in that a [person can own more than one terrific looking and shooting bow....lol
