Hold what you've got. Good Cedar above 65# is getting to be a rare animal.

Some good looking arrows so far! Thanks for sharing them with me. I can't afford to do it this season but, I am hoping to get some Surewoods made up for next season tipped with some of the Ribteks I've got left. I really like how they sharpen up.

Speaking of bows being brought back home. I got my Tembo back last week.

I like that one Danny ! I've inly ever shot my Big 5. Look forward to shooting more Hill styles just to see a difference. I'm quite happy with mine though.

That's a fine looking bow Danny, looks brand new. I'll be able to join the HH gang next week. Mr Berry says my Morningstar will be ready mid-week. Couple weeks after that, I'll get my Vixen.

Butch- Yes it is snakewood on the riser with a double tip overlay of snakewood and ivory. Being a Tembo, it also had to have one of Craig's silver elephant riser inlays too. 66" 55# @ 28".

Matt- I was able to get this one back because Rob bought my Wesley. I think he is happy with it.

I really like the look of the woods in Brian's new bow! I'd really like to get myself a yew limbed Hill bow with dark myrtle riser and brown glass...

I spent the last two days on stand with the Tembo. Had to come home last night due to storms coming though. Sitting in a tree on a metal ladder stand with lightening dancing around is not the smartest thing to do.    :knothead:

Things worked out well all around Danny.  Sorry Mother Nature chased you out of the tree last night.

Again, Thank You so much for the opportunity to own this Wesley!  It's a beautiful shooting bow, and spent the evening on stand last night.  No Whitetails were seen, but I do intend to take at least one with it this season.

This bow begs for silence!  Actually, I (once again) grew tired of the noise shooting 3Under makes and went back to split.  The sound of silence from a Hill bow is one of life's great pleasures!

I bought a Miller Old Tom about a month ago that is in like-new condition:  68" and 55# @ 28".  Those are really nice bows!

Make sure you ask for the wood you really want.  There is light yew and dark yew. Female and male.  If you don't specify you may end up with a much lighter bow than you expected!  I have a preference for the dark yew like on Brian's bow, but have seen some nice light yew as well! I have a hard time with picking between dark bamboo and yew...both are good performers.  I am a fan of one or the other and would stay away from mixing them at this point.  Yew dents easier though so it's good to treat it well.
