I met Mike today and got the bow.
Light in the hand.
No handshock.
Spits an arrow as well as or BETTER than my other Hill style bows. For a SF bow it is phenomenal.
Mike's craftsmanship is high quality. His finish is a satin finish and seems tough. No sand lines are visible anywhere. Wood and glass are smooooooth.
Drawing it is effortless. It draws an even weight and tightens up smoothly as you get back to anchor.
Mike provided a FF string, but a fatter one than what seems to be the trend.
She shoots with authority and is very quiet. As quiet as my HH Big 5 SF.
Mike worked with me closely on this bow. I asked for some things that were not typical of the Carolina Night based on my viewing of one of Howard Hill's personal bows back in Feb on the Hill Hog Hunt. Mike made the handle length to fit my hand and the depth to meet the original Hill I saw. I asked for narrower limbs and he obliged. I wanted the closest belly lam to come up the belly side of the riser fade.
My first five shots after putting on the handle were withing 5" of each other at 15. The groups after that were very similar and arrow flight was beautiful.
Some pics...
If you're in the market for a Hill style bow give Mike a call. I think you'll be pleased that you did.
