Be warned. . .

There is a downside to Howard Hill bows.

First you innocently buy a Howard Hill bow, and then, before you know it, you find yourself doing crazy things like this.

Specs on the bow in above photo:

66 inches long

75 pounds at 28 inches

Wood arrow tipped with a 160-grain Grizzly (860 grains total weight)

15 yard shot.

When the arrow hit, he jumped up, spun toward me and locked eyes with me. I was pretty sure I was a gonner right about then.

P.S. He's the smaller of the two bulls I killed on that trip, but since most of you have already seen the big bull's photo, I thought I would share this one. Brings back some good memories.

The picture made me swallow hard so I can't imagine what it must have done for you looking him eye to eye.

Thanks for sharing.

I hope my Hills don't try to drag me out in front of any game larger or with a worse temperament than a grizzly...lol

Thanks again!

God bless,Mudd

Man, I've gotta find a way to get some kind of hunting done with my bow. Deer season just ain't cutting it anymore!   "[dntthnk]"  

Ben, great pics. Wish I could come down under and do some piggy hunting.

Rob or Ben,

Can you post a link for the video? I think I need to order the Another Boaring Weekend DVD ASAP!

it might help me get through the last few weeks of the winter doldrums.
