Howard Hill Bow String Length?
« on: December 23, 2011, 12:49:00 PM »
Hi,

I have a new (to me) Hill Wild Boar on it's way. Does anyone have the string length for a 66" bow? I will need to order a couple. Thanks, Frank

If you go with the AMO spec, the string should be 63" long.  I make mine a bit longer and after they have stretched, twist them to get the brace height desired.  Correct string length is about desired brace height.  My 66" and 68" hill style bows shoot well for me at 7 1/4" brace height.  Your mileage may vary!

Hey Ontario Longbow,

Did you get that "Wild Boar" from Len Busbee?  I was mulling that one over for a long time, but didn't pull the trigger.  I'm sure you are gonna love it.  Good luck.
