Great looking bow, John! Your shooting ain't too bad either!

Terry: The grip on the Classic is the same depth as on the Dave Johnson, 2", so it fits me real well. The other two are at 1-7/8". I don't think I'd like anything more than 2".

Does anyone know what type of strings come on Craig's bow's? Is it FF or B-50. I did a search but couldn't find it. I just ordered a 68" 50 @ 28 all bocote bow - caramelized boo of course!

Standard string is B50 unless you request otherwise.

What do most of you guys use on your Hill bows, B-50 or Fast flight. It has been my experience with other bows that the FF does not have as much vibration, as well as an increase in performance. Is it the same with the Hill bows?

Craig's standard is B-50, but he'll put on a fast flite string if you want one.  I use D-97 strings on Hills.

6 strand 450+ or 11 strand FF.  Double served with classic nocks.  B50 is fine

Hey guys I have recently just reacquired an older model Big 5 that draws 60#'s @ 28". My dad drew 29.5" and had great luck with the old xx75 2117. I draw 27.5" and need a starting point for some shafts to try out at my draw. Wood is preferred but aluminum or carbon will also work.

I am a dyed in the wool recurve man and this will be first experience with a long bow so please pass on any shooting advice also.

Thanks
