H.Hill vs R.Welch vs R. Jenkins

[KodiakBob]

If we could get a 3D shoot with these three who would win? Of course we are talking Howard in his prime and getting used to shooting 3D. Sorta of one of those computer boxing matches.

[Double Creek]

Like most sports, there is no one dominate player.......Any given Sunday...  But it would be hard to vote against howard based on the reports we read.  The things is, you are probably only talking about a few points seperating 1st and 3rd.

[Deadeye]

I've shoot with Ricky Welch in 1992 and Rod Jenkins 2005 06  but not Mr. Hill(Im not that old).It realy depends whos on that day. I know Rod not shooting as much as he would like to ( work comes frist)The best I hope to get is 10 to 15 points behind them. on a good day.

[vermontrad]

Uh, Howard won 196 consecutive comps in a row, has anyone even come close to something like that? No disrespect to Mr. Welch or Mr. Jenkins but we're talkin' about Howard Hill. But then legends have a funny way about them don't they...

[Rod Jenkins]

My money would be on Ricky  

[curlis]

Rod,

You old dog. Are you going to the IBO Worlds this year? I am going to make the LONG trip this year.

Bill

[Rod Jenkins]

Hey Bill! Yeah I'm planning to attend. Looking forward to visting with you.

[bayoulongbowman]

toss-up!!!!!!    I aint touchin this one!!!

[Pat B.]

Who's Ricky Welch ??

[KodiakBob]

Who's Ricky Welch? Man he could show up at a 3D shooting a broomstick strung with clothes line and outshoot most. Him shooting against Rod Jenkins, now that would be a pay-per-view event.

[Yohon]

Ther you go....pay per view NOW thats a good idea!!!!

Hope things are goin well for you Rod  

[David Bartholomew]

Curlis (Bill)... I thought you were teaching up in New York.  Heck, to think of it... I haven't seen you post in a bit.  So, did you make a wrong turn somewhere and end up in California?   GOD Bless, David

[PastorSteveHill]

I have never met Rod or HOward, but Rickey is unreal.  I went to his shooting school last month and it is well, well, worth the money and time you will invest...

[Kingstaken]

I need to make a PS2 video with all three....

[bayoulongbowman]

Rick Welch , maybe makes one of the best shooting recurves I have shot!...they aint the fanciest , but they flat out SHOOT!!!!!!a real bowhunter bow...      

[Problem Child]

I shot with Rick one time and he missed the kill zone and got a "five",  :eek:  the other 24 shots were "tens" though.        Nice guy too.

  This is very true. It's also true that these were field archery tournaments and many of the targets were set for 90 to 100 yards. Also, "in his prime" he put out a standing challenge to shoot against anyone if he could pick half of the targets.

But, I think that until either Mr. Jenkins or Mr. Welch, (absolutely no disrespect to either) agrees to let the other shoot an apple AND a prune off the top of his head, as Ken Wilhelm allowed Mr. Hill to do, (you can see it on dvd now, very cool) I think I'd have to go with 'Ol One Shot.     :D

[mike g]

Amen....
To the above post....

Howard Hill would probably be shooting a longbow about 30 lbs. heavier in draw weight than the other two guys, with straight limbs, straight grip and a sight window cut nowhere close to center, with wood arrows. If they all shot that kind of tackle, my vote would definitely go to Mr. Hill.
