Howard Hill longbows

[MikeM]

I own 4 70" take-downs between 45 and 48 pounds at 29" draw and out of all my bows, psychologically, they are the most fun to shoot. They are simple, smooth drawing, and more forgiving than any of my other bows.

Good to see you Marlon. How about a pic of you & the Beast. Neow thet's a laongbow Mate.

I'm curious as to what spine arrow you guys are shooting out of your Hills.  Particularly those of you shooting around 46-49 lbs.

[S.C. Hunter]

I have a question regarding arrow spine as well. I took the plunge and called HH archery I have a Wesley Special 62" 60#@28" coming soon. She has black on the back and belly cocobolo riser. Double overlays on the tips of coco and horn tip combo. And silver inlay deer or elk can't recall they took the description off of the site after I made the deposit this was a stock bow I guess someone backed out. The grip is elk and is tan in color. I want to shoot wood out of her but may try other carbon or aluminum arrows as well. I pull 28" spine ideas? All the folks here helped with my decision, tons of good feedback.

[MikeM]

I have Hill bows from 45#@29" to 48#@29". They all shoot 2016 aluminum cut 30"BOP with 125 and 145gr points. The wood arrows I have from Wisperingwind Arrows are footed hexshaft cut 30"BOP and are 60-64# spine @28" making them about 50-54# spine @30".

Sounds like a stellar combo SC Hunter. Pix asap + your take on it all after you shoot a few.

Anything with a point on it skoots along PDQ out of my Hills. Partial to woods myself.

I enjoy shooting my hill more than any bow i have. Its simple light will handle a wide range of arrows.It realy likes wood.
They are very resonably priced and you dont have to wait a year to get one.
I cant say enough about craig and his family.

Hey Roy, I was just talking to Cody tonight about which arrow he should be using and he mentioned how nice that Wessly you have shot his lighter spined shafts. He says that it is different than others he has seen.

S.C., Hill bows will generally shoot a 28" arrow with a 125 gr point that spines at or just under draw weight.  For a 29" arrow and 125 gr point, I would recommend a 60-64 lb spine.  Add spine for a heavier point.

Nice bow

[B/W lvr]

They are a well made bow in the old longbow style. I feel that they have too much handshock BUT guys that shoot them regularly say that they don't even feel it once they shot the bow just a little. If I was looking for that style bow I would sure buy one. Frank

I have a new 68" Cheetah. It is my 1st. HH as I have been shooting reflex/deflex longbows for years. I found the HH to be very streamlined and light in the hand, not bulky as I had expected. I was pleasantly surprised to how well these bows shoot and how well the craftmanship is. It is a bow I really enjoy shooting and would recommend to anyone who appreciates the feel of a true longbow.

My biggest change was the straight "low wrist" grip.   I had to rework a few 'form points' which helped me review my form which helped.    I have the Wesley Special 66" @ 50 lbs.    165-8 FPS, B-50 string, using GT 500s, at 395-400 grains (whisper quiet).  It compares equally to my Martin Savannah at 45 lbs, BCY string, using the same arrows.
