Latest Hill Style convert!!!
« on: March 20, 2012, 05:12:00 PM »
Picked up a like new Howard Hill "Bear Cub" for my daughter from "bearbowman". She has been wanting a Hill Style bow for a month or so but they do not turn up that often. This one arrived yesterday but for various reasons she was not able to shoot it yesterday. Today she got to shoot her new bow and shoot it she did!! The bow is 56" and 32 @ 24. The limbs are bamboo and the riser is a very rich color, I am thinking cocobolo but not sure. Regardless the bow is beautiful and my daughter loves it!

 

 
Her first group at about 10-ish yards.

That's good stuff right there Steve. With her shooting like that already, you better be investing in feathers and nocks!
