New Howard Hill Badger has arrived! (pics)
« on: February 03, 2013, 09:33:00 AM »
Yes sir,I really loved the lines of this bow when I saw one,and had to have one. It shoots nice,feels good in hand,and does'nt have as much handshock as some of the other bows I've shot. Just a little to let you know the Bamboo is there. But very,very shootable. Pretty quick to. I thought my pics would have turned out better with the pretty snow background,but it kind of dilluted them. Anyway,here it is TradGangers....

Love it. I've come close to buying one myself. Is it a stiff draw at that length at all?

Izzy,I pull 28". and it feels like the 48@28 it is built at,but no more than that. It is smooth drawing,and honestly is a "fun" bow to shoot. Just a smidge of bowhand thump on release,that I actually like. At full draw,it is easily held without a stacking effect being "built-up" as you come to full draw. rat'

I beleive that is my old bow. They are shooters, just shot my other bows better. Agree with riverrat, I don't think you would want to go more than 28 inch with it. To me it almost felt like a compound bow with a back wall.

The badger by hill is my favorite of the hill's. and looking at these pics just reinforce's that. When able, I want one in t/d 2pc but 66". If that is even possible. Congrats on a beauty!

bulldog18,I just got this one new from Craig a few days ago. I don't feel any "wall" or stack at all with it. But,I don't pull past 28"either. Maybe it's there then?   :dunno:  hardwaymike,the longest Badger they make is a 62"er. But,at 28" for me...it feels great. rat'

Glad you like it Ryan!  At Kalamazoo you were telling me that you were starting to have second thoughts about getting the Badger.  Sounds like it all worked out, have some fun with it.

Burnsie,at K-Zoo there is so much bows to see and try,that I indeed thought maybe I should'nt have ordered a bow before the show. But now ol'buddy,I'm glad I did. rat'

I just purchased a HH Badger as well, and I am surprised how fast the bow is, and the craftsmanship is second to none.  It makes me want another HH in the classic "D" shape.
