I just stumbled over this photo I took a couple of weeks ago.

I do not think I've shared this one as yet.

A portion of the herd..."Favorites"

Best of luck on the hunt.

Just curious.  I have one longbow with a little wider but a little thinner limbs.  I have other longbows with more narrow, deeper cored, limbs.  I have somewhat decided what my preference is but curious what those that own both think.

Personally I like the narrower limbs and deeper cores, BUT my C&N straight and Belcher union jack were wider and thinner than a standard hill and they shot well also. I'm hopelessly addicted to straight end bows is what I decided!

I like the narrower deeper core limbs to.  Seem more forgiving and smoother.  I ask as I am curious about Hill style bow design.

I do my dead level best to see that each of them gets equal time.

However if I find that one ends up not getting shot for long periods of time it'll show up in the classifieds.

Hey Mudd,
  Hope all is well with you these days. I just saw the pic of your "herd" and was wondering how the different non boo Hill bows compare to the all bamboo "Big 5".

Help me out here please. I recently sent my 12 year old Wesly Special to Craig at HHA to refinish her and install new antler limb tips. Why I didn't do that originally...I don't know. When I received the bow back I was very impressed. I have a high opinion of Craig and his work but this one exceeded my expectations. The bow originally was 54@30" when it came hone it was marked 46@29" which would put it at 49@30". Ok I figured adding the antler to the tips would drop poundage. So here is the problem, if you will. In trying different spine arrows65-70 lb 29_1/2" to BOP 11/32 cedar shafts with 160 gr field points are giving me the best arrow flight. The issue is I am pulling these 30_1/2"     :dunno:   ! So I'm pulling less weight and going up in spine, Real confusing...any thoughts?

John

PS: if I can figure out how to post pics I will share. She is a pretty little thing with that dark cocobolo riser, elk antler tips and those sexy long black limbs...

I was fortunate enough to speak to Jason today and place an order for a 66" Half Breed.  45-48#@28".  Choices were made, pics will tell the story when the day comes.  
Thanks y'all for your inspirations!
