Bud, does me good to see that bow in her natural element!  :thumbsup:  Thanks for the pictures from time to time.

I've gotten a grip pattern worn in the suede wrap already. At least my grip seems consistent! Haa!

Lovin' the bow Dave.

David,  Is Bud's bow one of your lost children?

It is a pretty thing!

Can you all believe how many other Hill bow threads this one has inspired??! I like this site more and more, so many enjoyable discussions about Hill style bows (yes biased). Catching up weekly is a nice read.

Yes, Tony, one of my "lost children".  Bud is giving her the care and attention she was not receiving from me--so she wanted a new home.  A bit heavy on the draw for this aging archer.  :(

Hey, Tony, you could always switch--not too hard.  I did several, years ago.  It's probably a good thing, too, or I would be even more bow poor than I already am--too many right handed bows on the classifieds.  :rolleyes:

Timing is off on the Tembo for me Dave, but keep me in mind!!  :)

Maybe some photos of it on this thread for the history of a Hill bow and the history of this thread?!

It is N-I-C-E!

OK, Bud, here are some pics of a 40+ year-old Hill that still shoots right there with the current crop. Built by John Schulz in the classic black glass back and white belly common at the time, and seemingly making a come-back.

"Aged Ivory"... that's a color that speaks to me.

I agree that your bow is a beauty David.

I know I've said it before but I can't wait to put my hand to "my buddy" bow.
