Dished grip, with I believe laced elk hide. I'll find out from the guy I bought it from and let you know.

far rider said " She's the best shooter on the rack." Nope, the best shooter on your rack moved to my house.   :bigsmyl:

I got my Big 5 from Stabow yesterday! 68" 50#28" Cocobolo riser with clear glass belly and back. I went out and shot it this morning. This is my first Howard Hill and only my second Hill style bow. My other was a Jerry Hill back when I shot RH, before I knew better. I will post some photos when I can figure out how to resize them to the proper width. I can save your life, but I'm a computer idiot!

I did not realize it at first, but once you hunt with Howard Hill, you're pretty well ruined for life.

Here's a photo of Howard and I hunting boar and buffalo in Australia. It was a great hunt----bamboo limbs got tensed and wood arrows were launched. His grin says it all.

As many of you already know, Howard is a bad influence. Yep, you guessed it, he's already trying to convince me to plan another Outback adventure. It's not easy being a fan of Howard, but it SURE IS FUN!

Funny thing was Howard did shoot lefty too.  I don't think I've seen any pics of it but I have seen it on film.
