Green, it is interesting how I came to be shooting this bow. I have been shooting archery since the late seventies. In that time I have owned and shot just about every kind of bow imagineable, so I thought. A couple of years ago I started following the original hill bug thread. It made for some interesting reading. I could definitely tell that the guys who posted really loved shooting their ASL's. I always marveled at the old Howard Hill videos. The things he could do with a longbow was amazing. Last year I came across a video on YouTube accidentally. It was Oklahoma Outdoors, and a guy named Neil Keys was interviewing Dave Johnson. I remember thinking that day , that I would love to own one of Dave's bows someday. A couple of weeks ago I was commenting on a thread and Jim Picarelli posted a picture of his collection of Hill style bows. They were beautiful. I decided that I had to have one. So I put my Stotler Game Getter Elite in the Classifieds for trade, for an ASL. Low and behold the first trade offer I got was from Hatrick (Dave Henn). It was for a Dave Johnson longbow. I jumped on the opportunity to own one immediately. Needless to say I am not disappointed in my decision. It is hard to believe that I have shot archery all these years, and I am just now discovering this little treasure they call, the ASL. I guess I still have a lot to learn. Lol!
