HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

Sitka Blacktails sounds like the perfect animal to bloody that bow. Will look forward to hearing the tale.

Shot my 2 pc Wesley Special today, shot it well but it's just a tad heavy for me to shoot a long session. Contacted Craig and he thinks he can take 5 pounds of the bow. I think I'll send it out next week and have it reduced. I may have to hunt it when it gets back.

Got a trade in the works.....There is a Hill Crocodile with an Osage riser headed to New York. 68" 46# @ 29 with a gloss finish. Can't wait to throw a few arrows down range.

Almost Deer season.  Time to bring this one back to the top.  My first Hill Bow - a Wesley Special is on page 270 of this thread and now I proudly display Hill Bow #2 - A Legend Stick!

She's 64" and 57# @ 27" All Caramelized Bamboo. 3 Laminates in the limbs and a stacked Caramelized Bamboo riser.  Brown glass on back and belly with double tip wedges. Just a superb example of beautiful simplicity at its finest. She has everything she needs and nothing she doesn't.

Somebody Help Me! I've gone to the Hills!

WOW meatCKR that is a beautiful, no wait, that is I think one of the most beautiful HHA's I've ever laid eyes on!  I'll bet it shoots as beautifully as it looks!  I overheard a couple of deer talking about it (they're online too, ya know) and one said that he wouldn't MIND being gotten by THIS bow.

[meatCKR]

Thanks Linwood!  Yep, she's a sweet shooter for sure. Here is link to a video I posted so you can see her shoot.

Since shooting that video, I have also gone back to a B50 string on this bow.  Nothing wrong with the 450+ string but I didn't like the fact that I needed the string leeches to lower the sound of the bow.  I am a minimalist.  So twisted up a 14 strand B50 and I think she shoots just as good and now she gives just a slight low hum on the shot without anything on the string.  Plus, I have tons of B50 and it costs less.  Works for me!

What a nice looking bow. A HHA  bow is in my near future. Looking  at a Redman or a Carmelized Tembo

Nice bow, Steve.  I hear a bit of a high pitched zip sound on the shot. I am assuming that is the arrow zipping along the arrow rest.

Thanks Larry.  Apologies about all the background noise.  Sounds like I live next the Indy speedway. Close - I have a tollway just behind my backyard.  The mic on my smartphone is pretty sensitive. I took another video with the B50 string.  You can see it here:

 

I like the 14 strand B50 string better cause I don't need those little string leeches.

Very nice!
Name that one "gorgeous"

Beautiful bow

I like how still you keep it at release.  As I draw I let up to almost nothing for grip pressure and sometimes my bow can jump around in my hand a bit.

Nicely christened

Poor yitto bunny hopper,  what kind of guy goes and shoots one of those.   My back and the heres of mosquitoes has not allowed me to go after them yet this year, but I am getting better and for once, I may be anxious for that first frost.   I wasn't very nice to the bunny hoppers last year, myself.

Hill bow thread on page 4?? That ain't right! Here is a pic of some damage done with my Berry Heritage this morning. I missed a hen earlier when she got a little squirrely and I rushed the shot, but this gobbler didn't have the same good fortune.
