Thanks for the heads up, I picked up Saggitarius by Bob Swinehart today. Can't wait to read it.

Just for grins!  This is a Frank San Marco (Hill Style) 68" 55lber that is smooth drawing as butter.

The Hill hunt is getting closer, it was about this time last yeat when we started to organize it. It' going to be a monumental event. It would be great if everyone malea it.

Alright Hill lovers out there. I am seriously considering a HH bow. It  almost seems like a given, since my last name is Hill. I have had a Bama Hunter that was about the closest thing to a Hill that I have owned. Most of my LB's have been RD bows and I have really enjoyed them.

I am leaning toward one with bamboo limbs. I pulled a Abbott yesterday it was bamboo and smooth as butter. Most of the other woods I have tried and owned seem to stack more. I have not tried yew or osage. Any help would be appreciated.

Well this is one I have coming in on Monday or Tuesday.Dave Johnson longbow.  66" 49#@27". The bow has a myrtle riser <><

My two favorite limbs materials limbs a Hill style bow are bamboo and yew. IMHO Yew is super smooth. Whose going to build your new bow?

[S.C. Hunter]

I am thinking Howard Hill archery, Craig.

Wow frank! Gorgeous!

@darren - cant wait for the hunt brother! You gonna tutor me on the ways of southern hog hunting?

@kerry - if you're going with HHA you could get the Half Breed - yew and bamboo in one bow! I've got one and it is smooth and fast....

[sticshooter]

I think so also. Got a one coming tomorrow from a TG member he built.Letting me try it out.If I like I'll have another LOL. Swapped a couple of knives for Mattawoman 66" also.Its a true sickness<><

[Rossco7002]

Oh yah! I've got two in the mail as we speak....sickness.

That just may be a option. Thanks

[tradlongbow]

Another option would be a Tembo with 3 lams of yew.

Glad that someone here grabbed it.

[Shinken]

Nice one Frank!

I would like to find one like that in a LH model to give it a try.

Enjoy!

Shoot straight, Shinken

The quiver is a Howard Hill Archery.  So is my glove, armquard, and half of the arrows in the quiver.  Tell ya what Those Ekins make some top notch cedar arrows for cheap.  All of the ones he sales are matched to one spine deflection not 5.  I make my own alot but only custom ones will come from them.

[Brianlocal3]

Thank you chris. I am looking at ordering that exact quiver. It looks very nice and a wonderful price.  I just love that pic, it puts  a smile on my face

Chris, Cool photo!
