dragonheart-shooting a Hill bow is definately on my to do list:)

[RC]

It ain`t for everybody. For me I shoot one because I enjoy shooting it more than any other bow I have. I see no drawbacks in shooting one and Good Lord Willing will be sporting pics of it laying across deer in about 7 weeks are so....RC

I am having fun with the thread and learning a bunch at the same time.

Old dogs can learn new tricks!

It didn't take me as long as I thought it might to morph my shooting style over to that displayed in the John Shulz video "Hittem like Howard.

God bless,Mudd

It isn't really for following ... just for jumping in chatting about Hills and Hill style bows .
It may look intimidating because of its size but its about as relaxed as a thread can get ... with eye candy to boot !

Have you also noticed , that compared to other threads , what an articluate and handsome bunch the Hill enthusiats are ?
Jus Sayin ......

This morning it was hot, muggy and not a breath of a breeze. I loaded up my quivers left and right handed with the appropriate arrows, several trips later all of longbows were under my apple tree out back and went out to shoot 50 arrows out of each one of my hill style bows, trying to decide which one was going to be my prime hunter for the year. That is 650 arrows shot, it is a toss up between my whip ended 68" 58 pound yew/bamboo or my 66" 64 pound Schulz Legend.  You Hill shooters are nuts in the head, NOT AS NUTS AS ME!!!, but still nuts. And to think that I gave away about half of my bows last year and I still miss them.  Just kidding, it is hard to know when one has too many longbows.

my intro to hill bows was when iwent to bob wesleys bow camp for some expert instruction he didnt care much for my rd longbow i got to shoot some of his bows and quickly became adicted to the hill style one reality though is a state of the art hybrid bow will at 10 lbs less wt willbe up to 20 ft per second faster with the same arrow

Well...if'n I was still a youngster in college, I think there might be a way to turn that thread into a Master thesis.

The American Longbow: The Element of Style!

[michaelschwister]

With all the recent ILF and carbon / foam/ nano hype, this backlash is natural and expected.  I for one am looking to see a major resurgance of the Great Northern Critter Gitter; IMHO the greatest meat maker ever.  Although I hope not as I recently picked one up for $260!!

I love that there is a Hill Bug thread closing in on 300 pages and a Hill Bug Discussion thread already at three pages.  I feel this weird urge to start a Hill Bug Discussion Meta thread.

[Mudd]

For we who are less than computer literate, please explain (a Hill Bug Discussion Meta thread)

Thank you!

God bless,Mudd

Speaking of the thread, not the subject matter, which is dear to my heart, I just find it unworkable.   I followed for awhile, but it's too difficult to follow specific lines of interest.  A post you're interested in quickly gets buried, and tracking just responses on that subject becomes too burdensome.  I drop in from time to time, but I don't have time to track the solid info vs. the just comments.   Great place to see Hill style eye candy, though.

dick, that's the reason for the quick search page.  i refresh it several times a month.  it takes those hundreds of pages of text and images, and compresses it all into one web browser page that can be individual word/phrase searched and buzzed through every single post and image real fast.

the link for the hhbug quick search page is always located in the very first post of that thread.

ditto's for the american flat longbow slide show, which is now updated almost daily.

I have not been following after the first 80 pages...but I did go to the update and found the slide show just fantastic..........

[bownutts]

sweet  shooting bows

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I sure don't follow or read the whole thing either, I just peruse it and scan it for things of interest to me, and I enjoy being a small part of it.

[Okie man]

I never miss a post.  I have seen some beautiful scenery and bows on the HH thread as well as some valuable shooting tips with the Hill style bow.  I check the thread at least 10 times per day.  If I was a better hunter that lived in a prettier area and was more adept with a digital camera, I could contribute more. As it stands, I am living vicariously through you guys. I will do my best to post pics when my new bow gets here though.  I hope that next year I will get out of state to hunt elk.  Those are some awesome animals.
