Howard Hill longbows are EXPENSIVE............

[Kevin L.]

On arrows, that is. I received a Hill bow in the mail today and after setting the brace and lowering the nocking point, went out back to shoot it. Here's the first 3 shots, from 18yds.

   

On the third shot, I heard that distinctive "crack" and saw a nock go flying. Here's the result.

   

This was without any real tuning, just a quick grab a few arrows and shoot it. Not to mention, it was one of my newer ash arrows. The bow is a Black Wolf, near as I can tell it's the only one like it. 62" long, 4 lams of lamboo, carbon backed, with a black glass belly and cocobolo riser and tips. Pulls right at 52# at my 26.5"

 

I think I'm going to like this one      :D        :D

You better send that bow off to me before it cost you any more arrows - I will pay shipping

Great shooting Kevin.

[JRY309]

Sweet looking bow,too bad about your arrow.LOL

[SpankyNeal]

That's why you only shoot'em one at a time with a Hill - It's much cheaper that way! Just think what would of happened if that awfull Hill handshock hadn't knocked you off target a bit! :^) Great shooting Kevin - looks like a keeper!

[Killdeer]

OUCH!!

[Jerry Jeffer]

That is a nice looking Hill. That's why I only shoot one at a  time. LOL  I'm really not that good.  Splitting arrows is one thing I wouldn't complain about.

Kevin....
    Thats the reason you always shoot with a friend....And shoot at his/her Arrows....

[Kevin L.]

Thanks guys (and gals, Killie       ) I'm pretty happy with it. You can see the arrow with the broken tip in the photo, that was from earlier in the morning with my Whisperstik. Found a soft spot on the bag and blew through, but it lost the fight with the pine behind the target. Still, I won't complain, well, not too much.

Mike, I got a buddy's new FMJ last week, now he pulls all of his before I get to shoot

very nice bow...the grip looks small for a Hill?

Bob,
 I've only had a couple of Hills and I think you're right. It does seem a bit smaller, but it fits me pretty well. I think I'll refer to this one when I have Craig build my dream bow, maybe just a smidge bigger than this one, but the same slight locator. It sure shoots, even with me doing the shooting.

Oops, the dreaded double-post.
