HH bug got me ... Part One!

[Wannabe1]

I found the Judos to be a pain also. When I draw one, it wants to pull up others with it. I like the .38 casing head! Looks like it would do the trick nicely.

[Blaino]

two4hooking- Do you shoot lighter spine arrows with the .38 blunts or add weight somehow?

[Knawbone]

Wannabe1, That's all I carry when i hunt from home.Four arrows will do it.

Yes, but are you carrring them in a Hill size quiver?

About a week ago my wife surprised me with a HHA bow, I know little about it, no serial number just the length and poundage and a model name I am unfamiliar with. It's the lightest in the hand Hill I've ever had and it sure shoots with authority. Pics will be coming when I can get some decent ones of it, until then this description will have to do. HHA "Lightning", 66" 87#@27, checkered myrtle(?) riser, black glass, ivory overlays and a joy to shoot!

That sounds like a sweet bow!

stik, some people have Craig name a bow something other than the usual model name.  I have a friend who had a Redman built but had the name Tecumseh put on it instead of Redman. That could be the case with your new bow.

That's what I am thinking happened but I sent an e-mail to HHA anyway because I'm really liking this bow and may order a backup like it when finances allow.

She bought it from a local guy for a steal,who got it off the auction site and couldn't pull it.

Wade - you're a guy who shoots heavy Hill bows. Do you use the Hill / Schulz touch and go or do you hold at anchor?

I love shooting the heavies too but I find with my long hold at anchor practice sessions get foreshortened.....

[Knawbone]

Ross, that's why I went down in weight is because I hold at anchor. The long shooting cessions with 52# and over were taking it's toll.

I'm going to eat dinner and then post some pics of my finished Cheetah.

I got my refinished Jerry Hill back today.  Happy, Happy.  Had to take the wife to get a new puppy, and by the time I got back it had started raining.  Outdoor pics only for this work.  Manana....

[Rossco7002]

Looking forward to the pics guys! Cheetah, Jerry Hill and an HHA - all in the space of an evening.... Quite the bug we've got here.....

[dougedwards]

Just wondering what the brace height range should be for a 66" Owl?

Is she getting a "new dog" in retaliation for all of the "new bows"?

[Green]

Nah - we buried our 16 year old retriever this Spring, and then two weeks ago her middle sons' Malamute got loose and was killed on the highway....he was like a 4th son to my wife.  I buried both of them here, and that coupled with the deaths of at least 7 family friends in the past three months, plus my heart attack, have been kind of hard on her.  New puppies tend to fix stuff like that.      

[two4hooking]

I add weight to the .38. The nail head adds some....use lead shot for balance.  Sometimes ill make up a batch of weaker spined arrows too....

Generally the arrow is away as soon as I hit anchor, but I'm a hunter first and foremost so I practice holding at anchor, at least a few times each shooting session. I also like to make the neighbors scratch their heads by doing some goofy stuff between shots like sets of push-ups or a jog to simulate a stalk and/or "buck fever". Keeps it interesting at least.
