Thanks for sharing Green.

Nate puts a little of himself in each of his bows and it shows.

Congratulations!!

God bless,Mudd

Does the different wood really matter? would mixing the different boo effect it?

I am new to Trad Gang but I'll never forget as a kid walking into my local library looking for some books on indian lore or stalking or anything to do with the wilderness....and long and behold there on the shelf in the huntin section was a book called "Hunting the Hard Way"....After reading it I fell In love.....I love Hill style bows.
When I got out of college I decided that before I got married I would get me a Howard Hill Bow....Unfortuantly I am left eye dominant so I have made the decision to sell my bow and hopefully order a lefty.
Howard Hill was left eye dominant, and shot right handed.
So I would not worry too much about that.
It has been said that if you keep both eyes open when you shoot, eye dominance does not matter.  You may want to try one of the many methods of shooting.
Something may work for you.
Regarding woods ; speak to Craig or Jason at HHA about  wood combinations.
Opinions are as plentiful as splinters regarding wood. Anything anyone says is the "way" remember ....  is works.... FOR THEM. I think, everyone should look to find their own way. Borrow from this or that method, but ultimately find your own way

Man, you guys are killing me with the talk of all these bows! I just had to pass up an offer on another Hill as I just couldn't come up with the scratch. But reading about all these wonderful Hills, of which none belong to me, is painful, indeed. But I am saving nickels and dimes 'cause the show ain't over yet.

I am guessing that you'd be just about as happy with an "Osage Royale".

Spent some time over the last couple days getting to know my Redman and Big Five.  Impressed with how they each shoot.  I also put together a new set of arrows.  These bows are fun to get to know.

Yes, these bows are fun to get to know.  I've been unable to put my Bama bow down for the last three days.  Got the fever real bad now, and then a couple of my shooting buddies dropped by yesterday, one of whom brought about 5 Hill style bows....all way above my draw weight.  I'm really on the hunt now for a Wesley or Redman in the 45# and 66" range.  Sheesh....this is gonna be bad, I can already tell.     :biglaugh:
