Finally Ordered a Howard Hill Longbow!
« on: January 03, 2008, 10:28:00 AM »
Well.. I've been shooting Hill D-Style longbows all my life! Finally, ordered a Howard Hill Halfbreed! Spoke to Craig last night, and sent in the order this morning. It will be a 66" One Piece Longbow, Inner Core Bamboo with an extra lamination of bamboo, and Yew Lams on the back and belly, should draw 50# or a little more @ 28. Cocobolo handle & overlays, dark brown leather stitched handle, with a deer sterling silver inlay. I can hardly wait! But, it'll be worth it! I will post pics when it comes.

You won't regret the Hill.  As a lifelong Hill shooter myself, they do everything a guy needs.  Sure, some others have fancy curves, inlays, overlays, etc., but for a hunting bow, Hill gets the job done!!

I've been shooting everything other than a D style bow,,, and that's the one I've been looking over for some time now. Post pics when you get a chance so I can go even more crazy.

Congrats on the new acquisition. I have a Halfbreed I bought from a fellow tradganger here. Mine is 57@28, and 62". It surprised me how quick it flings an arrow. I only wish it was a little longer. I'm used to shooting a 62" 3pc pronghorn, which is much more forgiving than the Halfbreed. I think you will like the 66" length. It is a fun, classic bow. In fact, I think I'll go shoot it right now.  ;)
