And if ya'll get Craig here at Tradgang ... tell him I'll order me a new t/d Redman just to celebrate it ...
And if that is the case ...
after nearly 700 posts on this thread alone .....
perhaps a group order special edition ?    :bigsmyl:    

My vote would be a
Redman
String Follow
Ebony Riser ...

What say you fellow Hillsters ?    :coffee:    

Is this extortion by Longbow purchase power ?       :goldtooth:

yep, and old one - 68", 50# @ 29", handle reworked from the old wedge/teardrop to rounded, bow refinished after adding a lace-up elk hide grip and arrow shelf plate.

That would be too cool!
it would be cool, but not possible since a true mirrored thread would need simultaneous updating and this, or any other forum software, couldn't do that.

Oh...too bad!
Well, I haven't been here long enough to have a vote - y'all do your thing and don't forget to leave some directions. This is the first thread I look for and sometimes the only one..

My wife thinks I am nuts.  Staring at pictures of what she thinks is the same bow...over 'n over. I agree with her...LOL    :p

Nice Cougar!! I've never tried honey locust in a bow before. How does it compare to the other wood/bamboo combo limbs from Craig?

that's trad gang member dick wightman's site, which mirrors to his  www.howardhilllongbowmen.com  - one of the best hill sites on the web, and dick is one of the biggest hill fans around, not to mention a fine bowyer of hill style longbows for his own muse and pleasure.   :thumbsup:

imo, there is a significant difference 'tween r/d "D" and "hill style D" longbows.  this has been covered already in a topic that compares mohawk and howard hill longbows ...

Claymore- Nice looking bow you have there.
