Rob, that is a looker. Too bad you had to shoot so many times to get it tuned, but we all have to make sacrifices.
Brian, white bellies are cool. And your taste is perfect if you add the brown back.

Thanks for clarifying  the encasement James.  I never would have guessed that.  

This Vixen tuned up super with some heavy Doug Fir as well as Ash.  Zips them heavy boogers right down there.  Took another 8 arrows to get that done.....why you make me work so hard?

Gonna be good pig medicine.     :D

The classifieds.....time well spent today. I just bought a Wesley Special 45# @ 28" 68" long and....it's a take down. Cocobolo riser and tips and clear glass......never had a T/D Hill before. I will look good next to Owl and my other Wesley Sp. I'm excited.......    :jumper:      :jumper:

Congrats Ron,

I was tempted by that myself, but at my short draw length I thought 68" is too long..  Let us know how it goes.

I'm on JDs list for another Vixen and I am going to get a white belly on it. Thanks James for making such a fine bow with superb craftsmanship.

Hey Ron. Could you let me know what spine arrows  you are shooting out of the takedown .   I have the same bow ordered it at 50@28 but it came in at 44@28  . Problem is I tryed different  spines but still get slap on the riser .  Thanks.

Dan, have you raised the brace on your bow, that usually takes care of nock slap on release.

Hi bob . Yes. I went from 51/2 to 8   Same results.  It's a nice bow and I just don't shoot it because  of this.   Called HH but they wanted to sell me arrows !   Very frustrating.

Wow, Dan, I think that may be the first Hill I have heard of coming in under weight--and by 6#!.  I had one that was 6# over marked weight, and 3-4 that were 4# over marked weight.  Was it marked at 44@28?
