Good shooting bows, not the fastest bow on the market, but they do shoot where you look and are well made.

Longbowben,you do realize that one will not be enough?I started with one a few years ago and I'm up to five.Oh,this last one was a Hill Badger,kinda like a r/d but not.You get looks when you tell them its a Hill.No looks might not be for everyone but it shoots just like my Big 5's.They're not on the website but Craig still makes them.

Have to agree with TL54. My bud "Harl" told me the same thing 3 to 4 years ago when I bought my first Hill from him. Now I have 5, two of which are take down models. They just feel good in your hand and shoot where you look. My shortest is 64" and my longest is 68". I would not recommend going shorter than 64" at a 28" draw.

Here's my wifes Wesley Special. It is 35# @ 26", so, 41# @ 28". She just had to have a pink/white string to match her arrows!   :biglaugh:

This is just God's way of telling you to either buy one or switch to right-handed shooting.  

   :bigsmyl:

Seriously though, there's a guy in Delaware with a small sporting goods shop and he had one or two lefty D shaped bows (used) for sale.  He gets HHs in every now and then but I honestly don't recall what these guys were.

Holler if you want his shop's address.

Honda makes some great road bikes but Harley Davidson is still a "Harley" and a Hill is a "Hill"

I have owned two over time.I LOVED them and hated them.They are very particular on how you hold them.Some days I couldn't miss and the next I WOULD BE ALL OVER THE TARGET.
 Not the bows fault,I just have a hard time doing things the same twice.

Wannabe, wife's bow as nice a Wes as I've seen. Wow!

Like folks before; easy to become longtime enamored with Hill & Schulz too for that matter.

I am turning over a new leaf and I'll be changing all of my bows over to Hills or Hill style bows.

I know there are skeptics but time will prove me out.

I have a good start with my new Bama Hunter longbowbow, a "new-to-me" Howard Hill Big5 and my Mohawk Classic.

God bless,Mudd

Ben... and other lefties...  keep an eye out for the occasional ambidextrous Hill... no shelf or two shallow shelves.   While Craig will make two-shelfers, i don't like 'em and he tells me he doesn't really either.  They weaken the bow in terms of lateral strikes or bumps on trees and such.  however, a no shelf Hill, which i had him build me a couple of and which I now build one of about every fourth bow or so just for the heck of it, works out real fine.   You match 'em up with a softer spined arrow and they shoot as good as any.   For some of us older guys who learned to shoot without shelves, it seems real natural to us.   You can check out "Road Trip", "Arrowl Flynn" and "Look at Me" in my Gallery if you want to see what it looks like.   dickwightman.com   then  "Archery Activities"
