hey Nate,

What glove are you shooting nowdays? In the photo it looks like a "Hill" style or a Schulz?

Nate Steen . · « **Reply #3201 on:** June 16, 2011, 08:21:00 PM »

I've preferred the Hill style for almost 20 years and use it most of the time. However, I helped design the Bigshot Crossover for guys that want a stiffer glove that stays on the fingers better....it's really a great glove and not as stiff as the Hill style and I use it as well... I make my own Hill style using fingerstalls I got from James Schulz years ago...

thanks. Do you have an insert or just leather? The Schulz "Hill Style" glove I have has inserts. Just curious your thoughts on that?

Nate Steen . · « **Reply #3203 on:** June 16, 2011, 08:36:00 PM »

I love inserts. I don't like curling my fingers around the string too much, I can feel my anchor so much better and the string comes off my fingers better. If I use a soft glove or tab, my fingertips curl back and don't dig into my face, so the stiff glove gives me a much better anchor..

Thanks again Nate. Always interested in your insight and passion for the traditional way.

Heading out for my first hog hunt (Hog Heaven) in the morning. Hope to see what the Big-5 and I can do with a pig!

Pics of the new addition...Im a proud papa. 70 inch/ Carmelized Boo/ Elk tips/Black Elk wrap It really zipps those arrows out, at 620 grains and if Craig is accurate with the 60 @ 29(my no kidding draw) then Im right at 10 GGP. She shoots fast and flat. Im very impressed with the bow. I like shooting it better than my Robin Hood.
Im going to put a black and tan FF flemish twist string on her and go. She will be my Elk hunting bow this year for sure. Deadly quiet...no big shock. I love the Black and Tan.

Man that is pure elegance!

MT Longbow · « **Reply #3212 on:** June 17, 2011, 01:30:00 AM »

Thanks Mudd for the resize...I wonder what is going on,

Anyway, I forgot to mention the riser wood is Gaboon Ebony and looks just as black in bright sunlight as in the pics.

I do like that bow!

Nate Steen . · « **Reply #3216 on:** June 17, 2011, 10:36:00 AM »

It's all over for you now Patrick, you've been bitten so bad you'll never recover...and that beauty only adds fuel to the fire....

MT Longbow · « **Reply #3217 on:** June 17, 2011, 11:51:00 AM »

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the positive comments!

I was worried about the draw weight but here is what is weird...I seem to be getting a better release(cleaner) with the higher draw weight. Craig has it marked 60@29 and I really want to test it...just to see. Im still pulling a full 29 , (I used the clothspin on the front of the arrow method to measure to see if I was collapsing my bow arm in ANY way) so thats all good ...it just seem cleaner off the glove. I feel more solid at anchor.

The string I was given with the bow is about a full inch too short, Its 12 strand FF Flemish and is 67 inches tip to tail stretched out on the floor, I can only get the brace height to 7 inches...dont want to unwrap anymore....

I want to be able to string it up get a brace of 6 inches the twist to up that when tuning.

do you think a string built to 68-68.5 would get me the extra inch of brace reduction?

And who do you recommend I order a string through? I want to get a Black and dark brown Flemish FF.

Thanks guys!

Patrick

P.S. My thanks to R.D.S and the guys on providing me the info on the "tempered/carmelized boo" I made a call into Craig and had him work that process into the build and I love the result.

My thanks to all of you guys as well(Sunset Hill)...., all of you have helped me so much excell in my shooting of these bows. I owe all you fellas a "Full tip" of my Fedora.

MT Longbow-

The new bow looks great, I like wood combos.

Hello HillGang-

It's good to see everyone is still here and that the Hill thread is going strong. I haven't been on here for at least a month due to work and school, but I have been shooting as much as possible.
