New longbow shooter here. Not new to longbows, just new to this forum. Been reading all the archive pieces and viewing the old movie film of Hill and Pearson. Very nice that someone took the time to have this available.

I shoot both traditional Hill style bows along with the hybrids. Must say I prefer the hybrids but still like to shoot the Hill bows. I'm also alone in my preference for carbon arrows in all my longbows. I do not shoot anything else and have not for 15 years. Even my Hill bows shoot carbon much better than wood or alloy.

Anyway, it's fun to read the experiences of other shooters.

Welcome aboard. I'm pretty new also but have been here long enough to get a ton of value out of this community. Enjoy.

Where did you see howard hill video? Thanks.

Peace brother!  To each their own here, no ones gonna knock you for shooting carbons, woods or aluminums.  I'm a recurve guy but am hooked on carbons myself.

Look down at the bottom of the main forum page under "Legends and Pioneers." There you will see Howard Hill's name along with other famous archers. Click on Howard Hill and you will find several vintage movie shorts of Hill and his pals.

Thanks, all, for welcoming me.

Hi. Carbon is a common naturally occuring substance. So is aluminum (though rare in nature). Wood is obviously natural (though being replaced with blacktop). So its all good....Phil
