Ordered my first custom today (HH)

[GingivitisKahn]

Whatcha think - did I make any horrible mistakes on this or forget to specify anything important?

Howard Hill Halfbreed with:
 *Yew lams on the belly and back and  boo inside
 *clear glass (satin)
 *60@29
 *66"
 *bacote riser
 *straight grip (right hand)
 *moose wrap
 *elk antler tips

[Apex Predator]

Sounds like you done good.  You did forget to tell him how to program it though.  Most come with the whitetail mojo only.  You have to specify for any others.  

[GingivitisKahn]

Whitetail mojo works just fine for me at this time.  :-D

[longbowben]

Congrats lets se it when its done.

[Kevin L.]

Did you give them my address to ship it to, LOL? Sounds like a perfect combo to me, I can't think of anything I'd add, other than one of those silver inlays.

[GingivitisKahn]

Lol Kevin - NO!  I did have to call back though because it just dawned on me that I forgot to specify the bow's name.  

I went with... Chili Maker

:-D

[mcgroundstalker]

How are ya gonna sleep until it gets there?    

... mike ...

[GingivitisKahn]

Heh that's a fine question.  Weirdly, I'm shooting my Damon Howatt better than ever at the moment.

[Irish Archer]

Kahn, I'd love to see photos of it when you get it. I ordered one yesterday. Did he tell you 4-5 weeks?

[Deadsmple]

Sounds like a dandy bow. Looking forward to the pics when you get it.

[SpankyNeal]

Have you shot a 66" Hill with a 29" draw before? If you haven't it might be a little short for ya, but other than that sounds like a beauty! Thank goodness those Hills have such killer handshock  :rolleyes:   or else you would be waiting about a year for that bow LOL!!! Good luck and enjoy!  

[GingivitisKahn]

Irish Archer - yes sir.   Four or five weeks.   Which one did you order?

SpankyNeal - I haven't but 29" is just about right for my draw and 66" seemed to me to be a pretty standard longbow size.  Are you thinking 70" or so would have been better?  Honestly, I flirted with the notion of getting one more nearly my hight (6'4") but I hunt in bushy, treeful central Ohio and may need to take a shot some time.  :-p

[Irish Archer]

Kahn, With money being what it is right now for me, and me wanting a bow to hunt from the ground with, I went with the Bobcat. It's a 60" only model. Wasn't my first choice but it's what I can afford right now. Yew limbs, bocote back, gaboon ebony riser and tips, 45@28". If I like it, I'll save for another later. Are you a member of any of the central Ohio clubs?

[GingivitisKahn]

Bobcat sounds cool to me.  I'm assuming you'll be posting some pics of it when it gets in.

I'm not a member of any clubs (unless TradGang counts).  What did Groucho say? I wouldn't join a club that would have me for a member.

:-D

[Irish Archer]

That's funny right there. And yes, I'll post pics when it gets here. What side of town are you from?

[GingivitisKahn]

North side of Columbus - you?  Actually, if I'm not mistaken, you and I chatted here last year about hunting Deer Creek.  If I remember right, you were hunting the northern bit of that.

[mike g]

66" is fine for a 29 Draw....I have a sentman Razorback and a Saxon both are 66" @ 29"

[Irish Archer]

South Columbus. It wasn't me although I've thought many times about Deer Creek because it's close. Maybe I'll hit that this year, who knows. Anyway, congrats on the new bow, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Halfbreed when you get to shootin' it.

[BamBooBender]

Can't go wrong there!    Craig's a great guy to work with (not to mention it's a Hill).   Congrats!

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Yep, she'll be fine, and you'll have a blast! Happy days afield to you!
