HH bug got me ... Part One!

[Mudd]

After a little long distance mental arm twisting I relented and agreed to do this...lol

Here is Tony's new bow "Macatawa" being shot at 20 yards with arrows that are upward of 830 grains.

 
 
 
 
 

God bless,Mudd

PS: I'm not much of a bow shot but an even worse photographer...lol

Thanks for taking mac out for some exercise Roy!  He looks almost as handsome as the guy in the hat!!
         

800+ gr...lol!  How does he like those logs?

The hill bug literally bit me today. I was shooting in every angle I could think of but in a hurry to fling a few arrows before work, I neglected to put my armguard on. Needless to say the slap on my arm taught me not to forget the armguard. Btw the arrow was still dead center

Mudd, your pictures just don't look quite right with long pants and brimmed hat. You should stay with the Robin hat and kilt. Much more the gentleman of the forest. But your bows look fine.

Just have to show you guys the next surprise that arrived yesterday from my friends Nate and Ray G. These have to be some of the most beautiful arrows I have ever seen...my pics don't even come close to doing them justice! It's gonna be REAL hard to fling these in the woods!

 
 
 
 
 

I can't even think of the right words to express my gratitude! I'll try my best to bloody'em up...thanks guys!

Beautiful arrows, Congrats.

[Mudd]

Another may have been bitten today...lol


 
 
 

Stephen Claypool shooting his 1st longbow and yes it was a Hill.

God bless,Mudd

Saweeeet aras! Wow!

[Mudd]

Those are gorgeous Spanky!

I can see why you would be reluctant to fling them.

Thank you for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

[Stephen Claypool]

Some nice bows for sure. Mudd you have so many bows i dont know which one id pick! Thanks for the opportunity.

WHAT'S THIS?

Beautiful, Perfectly Bending Hill Bows, and now the addition of
BEAUTIFUL ARROWS?  MADE OF WOOD? SHOT FROM HILL BOWS?

I suspect this is one excellent thread that will---perhaps---get even better. . .

[tradlongbow]

Hey gang-

This pic is on *bay for sale. Thought you guys might like this one.

That looks like one of Howards early Yew or Lemonwood bows...cool pic thanks for sharing it!  

spanky, you can compare your Hill form and compare your arrow flight in the first slow shot on here. Hill's wood arrows knew where they were going.

Steven...looks like you had fun in Muddsville..lol
I can't wait 'till I get there.

[SpankyNeal]

That is a really cool shot of his form and the arrow flight...awesome! Thanks for the link!

Tony, they're the best! Hopefully I can do something to return the favour!

Man, that picture just says traditional archery all over it.

David-

I don't know what pic you where you pointing out, but the photo with Howard wearing just a long sleeve shirt, pants, and boots with his bow in hand overlooking the hog is traditional. (no camo, no scent lock suit, etc)

Egads, some of those other films there of Howard are just insane.  Shooting the prune of the mans head, with a broadhead no less, no thank you.  Although when he shows him the cherry I almost fell out of my seat.

If you want to fast forward start at 6 mins.

Funny how he posed for some of the full draw pic/vid first, but, when they changed camera angles and played it full length, there wasn't any "posing."
 One motion.
