Wow talk about Hill bows!
« on: June 12, 2010, 04:12:00 PM »
If you like Hill longbows check out this one Rick just sold me. This is one that will stick around my rack for a long time! The following is from Rick's ad.

"68" 69# @ 28". Howard Hill Wesley Special that is skip-line checkered on the Ebony riser which isn't offered any longer from Hill. Also silver inlays. One side a standing Bear, the other a Bear paw. Rattle snake skins on the back too. Super nice looking bow. Tillered for split finger. The grip is very slightly dished."

Thanks Rick.

Gil

Man I always wanted to pick up one the Hill checkered bows with the silver inlays. The snake skins are just an added plus.

That is a looker and at a fantastic price!

Way outside of my draw weight unfortunately....

Enjoy!

Shoot straight, Shinken

My jealousy is somewhat tempered by the fact that I probably couldn't pull that one back.  What a beautiful longbow and a great deal!!!

Thanks guys. I always wanted the checkered Hill. I spoke to Craig about them last year. I forgot what years they were made. Does anybody know off the top of your head?  

Thanks
