I suppose context wise there are always people asking about Hill bows , ASL's etc - and there is so much history etc behind them that reading Hill , Schulz etc is on the cards for many -
yet there are others who use them , and dont strictly fall into the "swing draw" method so associated with Hill. Rik Hinton springs to mind - pure machine filling the freezer , uses his ASL's ... but 3under with a bow quiver - he wouldn't change that for anything Id bet .... so perhaps a new perspective from some archers who choose these bows as a hunting weapon , and more and more it seems , a competition bow. Getting it done on paper or rubber with a straight stick has a super extra cool factor for me .
I shoot targets , albeit not well but mainly hunt. The other guys are all hunters , I don’t get into the ‘target’ style bit … the world record IFAA longbow record was shot with a Hill style bow ….. that’s from 8 to 80 metres .
As for 3under , don’t shoot it myself but see no difference between Paul’s shooting or mine . He finds them the best hunting bow for him .
Isn’t that the point ?
Paul Mcargue took a medal at the Trad Worlds shooting his ASL , Josh Miller also uses his for comp and he is on the USA team. I like Hill and ASL bows , don’t really shoot like Hill/Schulz anymore , but can as needed.
For me , my form is my form and is not dependant on the bow style I am shooting .
I get the ethos of the ‘Hill’ style as an overall approach but it doesn’t work for many , the bows however do …..
Long May it be so .
