Blueridge,
I traded or sold my Big 5 and the Ebony Wesley in the photo, but purchased a Half Breed in the interim,so the herd is the custom Wesley in the foreground, a Half Breed, and my Cheetah at the moment (stay tuned though). My custom Wesley has been my go to bow because the draw weight, tiller, and grip are specific for me. Although, I find myself reaching for the Half Breed a lot lately, it just shoots so good. Of all the stock bows I've owned, the Half Breed has been my favorite. I am anxious to try two others though....a Tembo and Redman, like I said.....stay tuned!!!!

Ringneck, Craig could tell you--drop them an e-mail.

If you like the juniper but are a little concerned about durability, I just picked up a beauty on the classified that is a Wesley with a twist--the back lam is juniper under clear glass, the other four are boo--clear glass on the belly as well. She's a looker as well as a shooter and I plan to take her to the outbacks of Colorado this fall.

Thanks again, Boyd

Far Rider, David and other inputs - many thanks and Man, is that juniper ever a nice looking addition to a bow. Does anyone ever become totally satisfied with just one Hill bow?!

Buckhorn47 I think RC could come about as close as anyone could at answering your question about "anyone being totally satisfied with just one Hill".

My guess is that if funds weren't an issue for any of the Hill owners and shooters they'd all have more than one. (Just my opinion)

God bless,Mudd

PS RC I hope this isn't seen as throwing you under the bus......lol If it is please forgive me.

Only 77 more posts to hit the 2,000 mark.. How cool is this? Way!!! I'm saying.....

Buckhorn47....short answer to your question: NO. "[dntthnk]"

ONE HILL BOW!

Could you imagine....ONE HILL BOW!

canopyboy · « **Reply #1926 on:** March 22, 2011, 09:18:00 PM »

I have one Hill bow. And so until today I was actually happy with one Hill bow. Believe it or not (and many of you will not), I had not yet really even dreamed of "my next Hill".

But today the bug bit me a second time. I took a 13# jump with my current Hill, and while my shooting suffered at first, it's getting respectable again at the heavier weight. Then I went back and shot the lower weight bow and shot that better than ever. So now I'm ready to go one more step up in weight, albeit a bit smaller step this time.

Needless to say, today found me back on the HH website.

I'm thinking Halfbreed. Maybe with an extra lam? Do I go blank again? Or get it finished this time? Oh the choices....

Canopyboy,you are so right! Hadn't really thought of another Hill bow,Love my Red Cheetah ,but all this talk of Candy Bamboo and Halfbreeds and maybe a tad longer and heavier,there is no cure! Then Spanky comes on here with those beautys of his.AHHHH the endless possibilities

So here I am----slowly month by month----trying to save up enough money, paycheck by paycheck, for another backpacking trip Down Under in 2012 or 2013, and YOU GUYS start discussing the relative merits of beautiful Howard Hill bows.

Keep this in mind-----my Howard Hill bows are all take-downs, and while deadly as sin-----are spray painted in many shades.

Yes, I said "Spray Painted." (Oh Lord, I can feel the heat coming down already!)

I don't own a pretty Howard Hill bow. I have a beautiful Sunset Hill take down, but I don't own a beautiful take-down Howard Hill bow. Hmmmmmm. . . . .

This is ALL YOUR fault, because I am now feeling the urge to call Craig to ask him for a killer-looking, sweet-shooting, 75-pound dark-bamboo-limbed take-down.

It may be destined for a few adventures. . .it may cost me a few months of saving for an Australian adventure. . . and this is all completely YOUR FAULT!

(Stop the madness. . . end this thread before it costs us all. . .)

Bla, bla, bla Rik!

If you get a "purty" one then you can't put that bow quiver on it, either. :D

Hmmmmm... Takedown Hill that could go backpacking. Now that's an idea too.

Damnit.

ah rik, the agony and travails of the dedicated longbow hunter!

i should have my connexion t/d hill tembo finished by this summer, and ready to canoe/backpack into the seven lakes mountains in search of both critters and stumps. 'course, at 50# holding weight it'll be a wimp compared to your manly 75# cannons, but i'll enjoy it just the same.

I hate it when this thread slips to the second page....

RC · « **Reply #1933 on:** March 23, 2011, 09:16:00 PM »

I hear you Bro Mudd. Actually I am content with my Big 5.....for now.
Its slinging a 2016 with a big Inerceptor right proper and is feeling a bit bloodthirsty. Turkey season starts saturday and then theres them pesky porkers.RC

You're right, Canopyboy, deserves to be at the top of the thread.

Rik · « **Reply #1935 on:** March 24, 2011, 09:58:00 AM »

I bring you all a treat today-----a photo of the gorgeous limbs of my two take-down Wesley Specials. Simply beautiful I say, simply beautiful.
