New Hill Country Bows @ Bowhunting Supershow
« on: January 21, 2012, 10:00:00 PM »
This thread was originally for the 2012 Kalamazoo show but is still relavant for the upcoming show in Cleveland.


Roman will be introducing a couple new bows to his lineup.

First is the BOBCAT. Like the Wildcat, but only 13" long riser. The prototype has Hybrid limbs making it 56". It is so smooth and quick, and quiet.
 

I'm not one who normally shoots good groups. With this little one I can.
 

Sorry for the flash in this pic.

Next up is the Hill Country Cree.
 

The Cree is a 56", forward handle, recurve. Very nice little recurve for treestands and blinds. Also a very quick and quiet little bow.

That recurve is one I'd like to try.  What is its draw weight?

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Romans bows are the best!  I cant ever say enough about the man or his bows or his accomplice!  Now I just have to figure out how to pay for another one!  A friend shot my wildcat for the first time the other day and he said exactly what I did the first time I shot it.  It shoots exactly where you are looking. They are quiet, quick and intuitive and the guy building them can take the ideas that you have in your head and make them into reality. Check them out you will not be dissapointed!

I have shot that dirty boo Cree shown above.  If I recall it's around 43#.  That little bow just spits out 600gr arrows like darts.  I couldn't believe it.

I made sure I put my order in before the K-zoo line!

Any chance this Cree is going to be offered in longer lengths?

Two more reasons why I wish I could get to Kalamazoo.   :banghead:  

Kenny, do you have any pictures of the Wildcat with recurve limbs? That cree looks like he's incorporating the disign of the forward handle Wildcat into a one piece.

Roman makes a great bow. Excellent craftsmanship. My favorite being the Wildcat. I picked up a 62" Bacote Wildcat at Denton Hill and love that bow.

Thank Team Fudd for the "Bobcat". His ideas spurned Roman into taking action on some thoughts he already had. Roman had just sprayed finish on it earlier in the day and it was ready to handle when I got there. I found a string and set the knocking point. (Roman was in the house dealing with what turned out to be a brocken arm on his youngest son) I grabbed some arrows he had laying around and proceded to shoot the group you see pictured. Flat out blew me away.
Matt (team fudd) says his is so easy to point and shoot, same here.

Green, yes at some point he will offer it in longer lengths.

Hattrick, the recurve limbs will be offered in about 2 months for the Wildcat, and as soon as that happens I will make up my mind whether I want the recurve limbs or the hybrid for my Bobcat. ( He already started my Cree but said I could switch  :bigsmyl: )

Chad, yes very stable and quick. He changed his limb mount angle on the shorter riser and put reverse taper in the limb cores and hit a GRANDSLAM the first time up.

Roman is so GEECKED about this first one he said he won't sell it. It's HIS!!   :bigsmyl:  For those that know Roman, you know why the big grin. He doesn't get very animated.

Kenny,  you just made me spit coffee out my nose!LOL!!!!  yes you are right roman is not very "animated"  as you put it.  I asked him about a story he related to me one time about something that was particularly gut wrenching and I said "didnt you cry like a baby?"  and without skipping a beat roman said "I am just not built that way"!! and procedeed on with the rest of his story. He is passionate about his bows though, even if you cant tell it, and it comes through in the final product thats for sure!  Now I just gotta start saving pennies again,  the only problem is I cant imagine a bow shooting any better than the one I just got from him in november!

Kenny,

That Bobcat looks fantastic.  When Roman gets his recurve limbs ready for production, I might be talked into one.  Thanks for sharing.

Buckster, stay tuned. He said late spring for the recurve limbs for both, the Wildcat and the Bobcat.
