With the speed that I am getting and the lack of sound I may have to figure out how to shoot a 68" out of a tree stand.  ;)

I had one made in 1991, it shot cedars 185 at my 26.5" draw. 75#, and 68" long too.

way good Mudd!   :clapper:    That quiver should work well for you...

I like to use a stiffer glove, HH style or the new Crossover Bigshot.  I don't like my fingers to curl around the string very much, it affects my anchor feel.  I've tried all sorts of tabs over the years, but gave them up.  I believe that the glove gives me a better reload time getting the arrow out of the quiver as well.  The tab gives my fingers one more thing to fumble when I'm grabbing an arrow by the nock.  I like to be able to reload fast and the glove lets me do that....

The bug got me, I ordered a HH Robin Hood double shelf 45 @ 28. I want to learn to shoot left handed and couldnt resist with all this talk of Hill bows.

Howard Hill's Longbow Army gains another eager recruit.

Probably enough of us now to take over at least half of France.

any more virally infected Hill shooters?  I fear that there are some who were infected by the Hill bug that recovered.  We haven't heard from some of them for quite awhile now....wonder how many used bows will be on the market....

The Hill bug can not be cured in my case, most of my other bows will be hitting the classifieds soon. This is a great bug to have though!

I just acquired my first Wesley Special in a string follow profile. It shoots good.

I'll be looking for some used ones if they come up. Been shooting mine for a couple of weeks and love it.  I'm finnally fletching up a new set of woodies and will tune them tommorrow.

I haven't received my Big 5 yet, and I'm already trying to figure out a plan for a Redman    :D

I might have this bad....

I'm thinking about a Redman or Haldbreed myself...   Oh the agony!   I can't see how it could shoot any better than my current Hills...   But a contrasting ebony riser and a few inlays...    Such mental torment!
