ive been parusing through this thread this a.m. . it got me to thinkin on how much i have missed straight limb longbows. my first bow was a 66" hickory selfbow with rawhide backing. yrs later i had aquired a jimbow longbow, i could never get used to the locator grip, so i sold it to a young man who was interested in trad, now i wish i hadn't. y'all have posted some beautiful bows and some awesome kills. now you have me wanting a hill style bow . maybe someday i can until then i'll keep lookin here and wishing. rv
