Someone tried to sell me an old Tembo a while back that had a four pin sight on it, the side bracket kind. I was pretty certain those filled holes would drive me crazy, after i threw the sight away.  Some things are anathema.  While I don't care how anyone shoots their Hills, except one with a sight on it just brings a sarcastic devil out of me. An expert, with three whole years of compound experience, he never even tried to shoot it without the sights, nor could he get it back.

The worst part was he wanted $20 more than he paid for it because of the cost of the sight.

i've sent emails to craig and talked with jason about supporting trad gang ... have never gotten an answer back.  

maybe they're all just too busy filling out trad gang member orders.

Dan Toelke of Montana bows is a sponsor and he makes a very fine Hill style longbow. The fit and finish is as fine as I have ever seen and , although slightly reflexed his bows have minmal thump at the shot ... I mean really minimal..
Quick and quiet too !

Dan also has a great turnaround time much akin to Craig at Howard Hill.

FWIW, right after I placed my order with Craig today I emailed him and mentioned all the good press he's getting here and that my order was heavily influenced by that as well... and encouraged him to become a sponsor.  We'll see...

I had a Half Breed last year I let go of.   :knothead:  It had a Bubinga riser with ebony limb tips. One smooth shooting bow!

Look forward to your thoughts on it.

I am sending Craig the link to this thread.

I am going to push him to be a sponsor or I will quit buying Howard Hill Bows.

Nah, he'll never believe that!  :archer:

I talked to Craig this morning concerning my Robin Hood bow and after discussing our business, I told him about the 40+ pages on Trad Gang concerning his bows and how so many people loved them. I mentioned that alot of the orders he was receiving were from member on here. I tried to see if he was getting more work than his small business could handle?, and that maybe he didn't need any more advertising? but seeing as that wasn't really any of my business, he didn't comment one way or the other.
