Awesome looking bow. My son also shoots a Cheetah. Well I think it's a Cub, but the woods are fashioned after the Cheetah andCraig built it for him.

Great looking Hill!   Love the ebony riser.  I have a Redman TD with that.

Got my new Longbowman's Choice Hill last week... Osage and coco....  They are a cause for excitement

I think the Cheetah is going to be my next bow, they are pretty easy on the eyes, and from what I hear, shoot just as good as the rest of the Hills....
