Can't speak for Northern Mist either, but I just got my 2nd Hill last week. Now have a Wesley and Big Five...love'em both.

Why did SveinD even post?? No imput on either model? ugh so helpful!

I have and have had several of both. I own several HH's right now and 1 NM classic. That style is all I normally shoot.

HH bows are consistent and good quality and strong. Good finish shoot well. They have great customer service. The wesley is known as thier premier model and does shoot great. About 8 weeks for a new bow, usually quicker!

Northern Mist bows are consistent quality, but you have more options to choose from. He often cuts his own wood, and will be more open to a more customized design. They all shoot great. You just choose the model and then everything goes. He is a perfectionist for sure. You would have a tough time finding a flaw of any kind. His newer bows have a finish that is so fine it is like velvet soft to the touch and beautiful. I don't know what he is doing different. Also good customer service but he is a one man show. Slower turn around than HH. He supports a ton of longbow and trad organizations, also for kids.

I will be purchasing another NM and will never sell my current HH or NM bows either. I just sold 2 NM's because the handles didn't fit me. When I replace them, I will get an appropriately sized handle.

Tough to go wrong with either bow. Best options are usually buy a used one and then go from there to fit a bow customized to you. It is a more inexpensive way to go.

I just got my 4th NM today, 2 Classics and 2 Sheltons. I realy cant see how a bow can be any more pleasant to shoot. I've only had the opportunity to shoot 1 Hill, a Wesley, it left a lot to be desired.
