Hill Badger

[Irish Archer]

Would any of you happen to have some pics of your Howard Hill Badger that you could post on here so that I could get a good view of it.

I'm sure that it's not that common of a bow, being a R/D Hill, and I can't find any really good photos.

I've been to the Longbowmen site, and here at TG, but I'm not having much luck. Riser close-ups, and strung and un-strung profile photos are what I'm seeking. Just really looking for some good pics.

Thanks for your help everyone....

If you email Craig @ Howard Hill Bows  he can probably email you some photos.  He had some on his computer, not sure if he still does.

Typically, I end up seeing better pics from one of the websites than from the bowyers themselves.

Probably due to the fact that when a fella gets a new bow in, that he has waited some time for, he's excited to "show it off", somewhat.

That's why I didn't bother Craig yet. But, I may have to. We'll see. Not a really sought after bow.

There are pictures of several Badgers on the Hill Longbowmen's "Howard Hill Showcase" pages:

Thanks for the kind words!

It's 58" and 50@28. I wish I could remember the woods, I'd tell you..lol

God bless,Mudd

OK Mudd,

I'm listening, how does she shoot? Spill the beans buddy. Anything that you can think of.....please.....thank you.

Is there an overlay on the back of that riser?

[Mudd]

I'll have to let you know after it arrives.

Should get here next week.

God bless,Mudd

Why didn't this bow sell better? I have 6 Howard Hill Archery bows and I've never heard of this bow until now. Certainly have never seen one in the flesh.

The R/D design is a good idea and there are many examples that work well. Curious Craig's effort would not be popular.

I have a 62in that I got this summer.Love it!!When I did research on it before I ordered it,most people said they liked it,but it didn't have the Hill shape to it.I got the same handle shape as my Big5 so I get some looks when I take it out of the case.

Uh, why does that bow, hand, and tip of a white tennis shoe look familiar? That love seat looks familiar, too.

That's because you take better pictures than I would Matt!!!!!...lol
And by using what I had on hand,I didn't have to wait until the bow arrived to meet the request made by Irish Archer.

I like the looks of that Hill quite a bit. There probably are not too many of those floating around out there though.

Nice looking bow for sure Mudd. Congrats.

Let me know how she feels and shoots for you. I appreciate it.

I had a real nice one that I sold, and am still kicking myself. It was a 62" made to look like the cheetah with cocobolo overlays. It was very smooth drawing bow. Craig put a nice low rise recurve grip on it for me with some palm swell. Man I wish I had that bow back. I may have to order another one.

Someone asked why the Badger is not better known...   Craig does not advertise it.  It isn't in the catalog.  It doesn't fit the Hill marketing picture and I think is really kind of his guilty secret...  :^)

[Mudd]

hahaha!! Dick is that anything like in the old days of the book in the plain brown wrapper?..lol

God bless,Mudd
