Ordered my Hill Monday, in my hands this morning!!   Nock point on, brace set, set of wooly bugs on the string. First 2 dz arrows over the rest.  Very impressed.  

[rushlush]

Congrats Irish!

[Mudd]

I received a neat gift in the mail today.

An arm guard from Huntsmanlance with "Mudd's Merry Men" stamped into it.

Really cool!!

 
 
 

Now in use!

Yes it is Rik.  Gorgeous!!        

It was a long wait Jesus - and worth every minute.  Can't wait to shoot her.

OK, up to about 75 - 80 arrows.   Nock at 1/2 (dental floss), brace at 6 3/8, set of wooly bugers.  Measured my draw right at 27 1/2 with this bow (I pull 28" with my recurves).  Should be pulling around 53 - 54 lbs.  Measured the weight on my scale at 55 -56 lbs at 28" (that is what bow is marked).  60 - 65 woodies weighing around 545 fly like darts!  Bow did not seem to like 55 to 60 as well.  Jason though 60 - 65 would be the ticket, he seems right.   Also, I tried some AD Traditionals.  Will stick with woodies         Bow shot - well good would be an understatment.   Love the straight grip.  No shock, no sound that I can hear.  I read everything that I could find on the grip, and I am a believer!!

This one is Tony's fault...lol

I just got off the phone with Tony.

He being "Mr Engineer" had to know where I had my brace height set. When I told him that I didn't know, well nothing doing but I was to measure it..lol

I read 5" at which point he asked me if I had read the information that Nate sent with the bow. I replied..."No!".. that's details and I'm not a detail oriented person.

Well long story short Tony had me playing with different brace heights. Some were good some not so much... upper limit was no sound and shooting where I was looking mid-range I could hear the bow but the arrows were still hitting where I looked. I dropped the brace to 5&1/2" and the bow was dead silent and my second arrow split my 1st arrow...(I hate ruining arrows)

   

As far as I could tell it was dead center of the nock.

What you see hanging down is the portion that was split off.

Only having this bow for 24 shooting hr's, I've knocked my little orange target off 2 times today and now a "Robin Hood"..Woot! woot!

God bless,Mudd

PS: Sorry for ruining some of your work Matt!
