I had a bunch of Hill bows and especially Wesleys. They are great bows with a good cast.

Shoot a heavy arrow, they love them. I was shooting between 11 and 13 grains per pound. They feel like a different bow with a heavy arrow. I did some testing though a chrono with the Wesley against some fast flight recurves at the same weight. When the arrow got heavy the two shot the same. When the arrow was light the reucrve won.

Enjoy the longbow, it can be adicting.

I use B-50 Flemish on mine on my Halfbreed - the 15 strand one that 3Rivers sells.

Did you ask for pics?  Why certainly!

Here's one of Chili Maker posing with a groundhog...

Make sure you check out  www.howardhillshooters.com.  They have a lot of great info about proper brace height, hand placement, etc, etc, etc. They also have an email list you should try joining where entusiast talk about all of these things pertaining to HH bows.

That's what a young, dumb one looks like anyway.  The fletching on the head is optional but recommended to mask head trauma (couldn't get a broadhead through the sticks to get him but an Ace Hex Head to the head worked).

Yes, I agree with SpankyNeal. When I got my Wsley, I called Howard Hill Archery and was told to start at 6 3/8 as a begining point. I really like mine and wish I could afford a couple more. Yours looks really nice. I think you will  enjoy it.

Well, my plans fell through again today as far as hunting goes, but I did loose a few here at he house. It was really warm here today.

I believe that I'm really going to like this Wesley. I appreciate you all posting photos of your Hills. I like to see all of the options because I'm already thinking of my next one.
