Crappy weather here today, a fellow called me up and was wondering if I could help him with his longbow that he got, a Hill style. His arrows would not fly and he said it hurt his fingers on his bow hand. He was trying to draw much longer than he should have been and his arrows were way too stiff. He had a building that we could shoot in to get out of the weather. I got him to shorten things down, he lost two inches of draw and shooting my arrows, he shot much better and he said it felt much better on his bow hand. I took my two 52 pounds at my draw Robertsons, one left hand the other right just in case he needed to switch hands. I showed him Hill style shooting with them, he even tossed some tennis balls for me, which impressed him, me too, I was shooting them left handed. Then I let him try my Robertson, mistake, he shot it a lot better and fell in love with my pierce Point Robertson. I feel a little guilty, now he says he is just keeping the other longbow as a back up for next year, but will probably will never use it again. He is already dreaming about a J D Berry.
