Classic Beauty Arrived Today 8^).
« on: May 29, 2008, 12:31:00 PM »
Just opened the package half an hour ago. It's a 68", 57#, Howard Hill Big Five. Clear glass; elk antler tips; elk wrap and clear satin-finished glass. Riser is ebony. Dang it's purty. I'll give her a run this afternoon and follow-up.

Almost identical to the Hill I got last week.  The only difference is mine has the straight grip and black glass instead of clear.  I love mine, put a D97 string on it and it shoots fantastic. Enjoy!

Yep.  I like the way the bamboo sets off the Ebony riser.  I have one almost like it except for black glass and limb tip overlays.  One of my best shooting bows.  Have fun.

It's a dished grip.  They fit the hand pretty well and are really comfortable to carry around the woods.

Good lookin Hill. How did it shoot. I'll bet it was sweet. Shot a Hill years ago. Watched the owner shooting it at the range, went over and talked with him about the bow. He offered to let me shoot it. First arrow loosed just to the left of the bull, second arrow dead on. Couldn't believe how light it was, like holding a feather.
