Hey guys, I recently picked up a Hill 'Rhino' in great shape, and among the info written on the bow are the initials 'T.K.'. Is this a Kramer built bow? If so, could someone briefly tell me about him, and about what years my bow would have been made? Great shooter, I already love the thing!

The RC should be a Redman made by Craig and the HC should be a Halfbreed also made by Craig. First 2 numbers are the bow length. Not sure of the rest of the serial number.

My new bow is pictured on the McBroom facebook page.......can't wait for it to get to New York. The dual shelf came out really nice.....and I just love Osage!!!

I'm sure it's been covered somewhere along the way, but what shooting glove do you guys prefer?

I use the Berlin glove from RMSG. I have tried the Hill gloves, but just can't get them to work for me. I guess I'm no Howard Hill.

American Leathers Big Shot Buffalo if it's a bow above 50-55# or the new Kangaroo version if less than that or you don't have sensitive fingers.

Nice RC! Gregg is well known for his short bow, but he can build the long ones just as well!

my "back to me" Shelton. 68 inches #56&28 ( I draw 26 )American Elm limbs, birds eye maple riser and tips. for those of you who have never took a GOOD look at American Elm and is INCREDIABLE wood grain, dam near looks like snake skin and blends in the woods like no tomorrow! I am shooting 55/75 Gold Tip blems with 50 grain brass insert and color followed by a 300 grain field point or VPA broad head for total arrow weight of 705. this bow straight out thumps and stacks those arrows quick as a hiccup. I had sold this bow a few years back and by luck of the Irish got it back after a few travels!
