I got it bad. Put my WW royal up for trade for a Hill style bow. I looked a long time for a Royal and was very happy with it until I bought a HH Redman. Now I got to have another.

A friend of mine that discovered he had a 27" draw shooting Hill style was going to get that Redman, that two pounds under fifty pounds slowed his decision.  Mine is 57@27 and he thought one a couple of pounds less would be just right.  I just acquired a soft Hill quiver, very nice, no breakin required.  I was going to give it to someone, but once I got my hands on it I could not let it go.

Pavan, David thanks for all the info you and all the other members so freely share! I decided to go with ff string,I spoke to Craig and he said it dosent void the warranty.having read this thread I think is going to make the transition a lot easier! Thanks again.

I shoot my Redman with a D97 string.  Very tame and pleasant to shoot.

bcy dyneema string fiber is all i use on any stick bow.  really good stuff.  df'97 for flemish, and it's lower wax counterpart d'02 for endless.

btw, here's the 23" big mouth back quiver i built last week for the st jude auction - it'd compliment any hill style longbow, for sure!

KY - BN - as David M. said you cannot go wrong with a HHA REDMAN.

I have shot / owned many RH & LH Hill-style bows, but right now I have only ONE Hill-style in my stable - a LH HHA REDMAN - and it is smooooooth on the draw and shock-free on the release.  I am really thankful to the Trad Ganger who parted with it...I have been blessed!  You will definitely be shooting a great longbow!

Having said that, I am looking forward to getting my first Morning Star from James and shooting what sounds to be like a terrific Hill-style!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

It is a perfect day for turkey hunting and I am not. Over Easter we went north to see the grand kids.  My crack shot 7 year old, Kyler, and Savannah, the prettiest little blond in the world with a snotty nose, a real little Typhoid Mary.  You may rember her baby pic in the first HH thread.  She gave me her cold.  
However, Tuesday, I was out.  I set up in a nice cluster of basswoods and called.  Then I noticed a small buck, dead in the creek bottom, with a shredded carbon arrow and a mangled mechanical broadhead in his neck. I can almost hear the excuse. "I couldn't find my pins through the peep, so I took a guess and fired."  I stood up to go examine the deer and then move and there it stood, not 30 yards away, a tom.  He never made a sound.  With no arrow on the string, all I could is watch him bust.  Wondering about the what could have been, I put a judo pointed arrow on my Morningstar, took a quick aim at little white flower where Mr. Tom was before and fired. If I had known I was going to hit it, I would have shot at something else.  How do turkey's always have such lucky timing like that?

Wow, you guys are killing us with those gorgeous bows. Some very unique looking woods.

I'm settled in for a long wait on a Vixen and a short wait on a HH Half Breed.

Enjoying a little down time with the Redman in the redwoods near Big Sur.

   

Another perspective. Believe it or not I've shot turkeys from that porch. There's pigs and deer around too but those little coastal Blacktails are so rank and tick infested I just leave em alone.

Dan,
My Cheetah is my most liked bow (at least for now). You know that you need another bow to compliment that Shrew Hill. It's only money!
The Cheetah juniper is a nice compliment to a whitetail's looks, don't you think?
