Once again, thank you very much for the warm welcome.
Okie man, the Bama Hunter is a straight limbed flatbow, so I guess it does qualify as a Hill style bow. It was a toss-up between the Hill and the Bama but I decided to go with the Bama first but there will be a Hill in my future. That little booklet that Hill Archery sends out has been residing on my bedside table for over a year now and it's difficult to ignore. Another Hill style bow, I would like to get is that made by Jeff Challacombe of Australia. He no longer makes them on a commercial basis but I have requested him to let me know if ever he decides to build one.
BTW, I have been reading the HH thread for many months and like you, check it out on an almost daily basis. Eagerly looking forward to Ron's ShrewHill.
Cheers!
