I went to the 'Hill company' and went through some bows - trying out each one with a bit of glee. I shot the Cheetah and really fell in love. It is a beautiful wood on the limbs - Scattershot- show us the limbs on the Cheetah...not for Bear; but for the Hill of it   :)

The Cheetah has Juniper on the limbs Roy. I believe it is the best looking bow in the line up. The wood is just gorgeous, and the bamboo cores make it a smooth operator. I'll post some pics also when I can get my photobucket deal to work.

Definitely your Cheetah is a looker under the clear glass. I have (4) Hills and love hunting each one.

Been shooting Hill's since early 70's and have a barn full of'em. Mostly 70" Big 5's and Tembo's. At 70 pounds Ole Reliable got too heavy for me a few years ago and I gave it to a good friend who can neither string it nor shoot it. For the past few years this has been my favorite, 70", 60 pound Big 5.

   

   

   

Aside from a few used Hills with all the bells and whistles I've picked up over the years I've never bought a "fancy" one new. Terry sent me a dandy one last year, a compact little 66" 60 pound Wesley. Bow is special because of the inscription and because of the person who did the art work. Thanks again Terry.

In that barn you have full of Hill bows if you need to make room I would love to talk about a taken one off your hands 70# or more would do.

Yes it is, and yes he is.

BTW Curt, you are one of many represented on this bow. I generally hunt alone but when packing this bow I always have company.    :)

I thought this was about "old" Hill bows   ;)  Kinda hard to tell the old from the new.  I just picked one up this week from the classifieds--a Hill Tembo built by John Schultz around the mid- ninteen sixties.  What a great bow!  Black glass on the back, white belly, myrtle riser.  Oh, I wish I were able to post pictures--maybe someday before long.

Your right David. Sorry about that, I get turned around easily these days.       :)    

This is the first Hill I bought new about 1973. Think I paid $75 for it. It's a Schulz made Tembo, 70", 60 pounds. No telling how many arrows this thing has flung and it has been refinished a few times. Notice the wider, thinner core limbs than are used on these bows today. Also has a full 1 1/2" backset in limbs. I think the Hills got their (undeserved) reputation for kick from the bows of this time period. Certainly not as sweet as what Craig makes today but I still shoot it a lot.
