I'll be there...I'll bring a few vintage Schulz bows for you to shoot and you can launch a few with my Sunset Hill.  ;-)

Happy Birthday to me! Charlie Lamb Sunbear. 66" 58# at 29". Just received it yesterday. It's my first Hill style longbow. Shot for about an hour yesterday and am very impressed. Really looking forward to learning to shoot it proficiently. Thanks too all of you guys for the tips y'all have provided. I appreciate it!

[J_Foster]

Sorry guys, can't figure out how to post pictures from my phone. I'll try again later this evening.

Well, I have finally done it: I've placed an order for my first longbow with Jason at Howard Hill Archery.                

there you go.  When you get into this, and you will.  Before long,  you will need to know how to properly skin and cook small game.  Every year I go to Youtubes to remind myself how to do that squirrel thing the easy way.   My wife puts a limit on how many squirrels I shoot every year, they are a challenge for her to cook.  Stumping, small game and Hill longbows just go together.  Remember, follow the program and try to not get ahead of yourself.

Thank you, Larry!  I'm thinking of rabbit, actually.    

My favorite game is rabbit, although this year the pheasants were doing pretty good.

All this rabbit talk has got me hungry.  Last year we did the Hill method of rabbit stew, dutch oven buried in the coals of a wood fire.   Three rabbits and four doves, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, onions, some chicken broth,  Italian seasoning, whole tomatoes,  butter beans and lots of time, with fire cooked grilled cheese sandwiches on the side.

Hello, been thinking about ordering a new Hill longbow. Whats the difference in the 3,4, and 5 lam bows? Also, does anyone know if they do green glass? Pics? Thanks alot!! Craig

They used green in the pics of the new  Black Mamba.  I like the Legend Stick.

[FITTER]

Hello Mr Pavan, thanks for your reply Sir. I saw that but the pic I saw the green looked almost like a light green.... not what some folks might call "Bear" green....

[FITTER]

Is there a reason why you prefer the Legend stick over the Tembo or Wesley or Big 5?

A stack of bamboo makes for a very strong fibrous but light riser.  One of those with green back and white belly glass would be a classy bow.  You may prefer a saddle grip with a string follow.

Thank you..... makes perfect sense

I guess I'm one of the occasional lurker here - I don't get to anywhere on the interwebs very often, but do enjoy being privledged to be here, and learn from everyone's experiences, and yes, I'm enamored with my Hill longbows, and arrows flying from them.  Pavan, you made for a discussion about risers.  Oh how I like the looks of that stack of bamboo - quite appealing (as are most of the bows I see here).  I like the lightness of my Hill bows, but somehow feel that a heavier riser seems to stabilize my bow hand.  It's probably just my opinion/feeling, but I would like to try one of the "laminated" risers.  I'll probably like such just as much as my other Hills, and darnit, feel the need to order one ;-)
