Sweet looking bow Rob!!!!

i got a chance to compare both big 5's, the slight backset and the string follow, at 27 yards. couldn't tell the difference with 10.4gpp woodies. they both drew and released just fine, and grouped about the same at that distance.

iow, the string follow limbs held their own against the slight backset limbs at a 27 yard distance - that is, there wasn't an increased trajectory that required my 'gray bowsight' to recalculate the bow hand hold for both bows.

not at all a 'controlled scientific' test, there many parameters left to consider testing, and i'm sure some differences will surface over time. just nothing glaring after flying almost 70 arrows from each longbow.

Rob,Thanks ever so much for the comparrison,I'm patiently waiting for my new HH Red Cheetah with string follow and that was my major concern.Did you notice it easier to shoot and or any differance in accuracy,just curious.Thanks again

Rob , I do a fare bit of roving /stumping at longer ranges and I have not noticed any real difference where I'd have to 'calibrate ' differently .... Mind you my 'reflex/backset' Hills are 68 " and my string follows are 66"

Now that's interesting... Prolly the biggest two questions I have pondered is the percieved differences in feel and where the arrow ends up at any given distance. IMO 27 yards is a perfect distance to judge, especially at 10+GPP. Now I'm happy to have ordered the string follow.

It'll be interesting to hear about the subtile differences you realize over time..

Who cares (really) about the "scientific" aspect of this initial test...the proof is in the pudding.

Nice to hear. Other than Appalachians by Dave Guthrie, Hills are my hands down favorite bows.

Terry-

I'm glad the deal is sealed. Last week, I was talking to Jason and he told me that they were moving forward with being a sponsor. I was telling Jason about the thread, and how much interest there is in the Hill bows on this site. Also, I added that Capt. Dick did a wonderful job with his Howard Hill shooters web-site and the information that it offers, but what I liked about Tradgang is it brought all the Hill shooters together at one place, where we can go to share our experiences with the Hill bow on one thread.

Rob-

I love the bow,Congrats! The question that I have is do you find that the carmelized bamboo stiffer then regular bamboo? The reason that I'm asking is that I find my bow with carmelized bamboo to be stiffer and also faster. If it's not the carmelized bamboo that's stiffer, it must be a few pounds more than the 50#'s that it's marked. I haven't checked the poundage on my scale yet, I will tomorrow. I thought maybe it was the carmelized bamboo that was making the difference.
