Like most of mine, I bought it second hand, but this one is as new as it can be for a used bow. I just couldn't pass it by. It's a sickness! I wonder if there is a 12 step for Hill owners?

Nice going Far Rider !

My first Hill was a halfbreed and day in day out it has managed to take game all over Australia ...

Awesome choice !

Far Rider,"It's a sickness! I wonder if there is a 12 step for Hill owners?"

If there is such a program I might be in need of a sponsor...lol

God bless,Mudd

PS: Would someone please post some pictures of ugly Hills so all of these beauty's that have been being posted lately can be flushed from my brain.
I could also use some kind of moisture absorption stuff to dry out the drool from my keyboard..lol

TW-

The bow is really nice, I like the cocobola riser on the cheetah. It also looks like you got the gloss finish. I had Craig put gloss on my last Hill, the grain in the wood really pops.

Darren, that's Steve Clandinin's bow. Not mine. I just helped out so that others could see it. In fact, he didn't read the fine line where I get first dibs on all Red Cheetahs that I have to post!   :laughing:    :laughing:

Blueridge and LongbowBen--maybe we should set up a system as to who gets to go first when one comes up.  I know, let's do it by member number, yeah, that would work for me; how about you guys?  Lowest number gets first dibs!  :readit:    :laughing:
