HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[4dogs]

Very good Greg. I especially liked the stuff on Nate and his bows.   Thank you

[Gordon Jabben]

Thanks Greg.  I hadn't thought about tying extra clothing on the quiver.

They are working pretty hard at HHA:

If all goes well, that pretty little bow will be in the mail tomorrow.  I can't wait.

For those who use a back quiver for hunting, I wrote a little blog on some of the refinements / customization I do with the quiver that might be of interest.

  Thanks for this two4hooking!  I enjoyed your blog.  I wondered if there is a way to receive and email notice when you write a new subject/post there?  I've enjoyed using one of Nate's quivers for a few years now!  He really does make it work wonderfully!  Oh, how I would like one of his bows!

[Linwood Hines]

BTW:  I want to give a thumbs up to a book - darn if I can remember where I saw note of it - or where I ordered it from (maybe saw it in a post here?) -but I really enjoyed the book "The American Longbow - How to make one, and it's place in a good life" by Stephen Graf.  Even if you're never going to make one - the extra info (shooting, hunting, insight, and positives he writes of makes me want to shoot more (I've been lax - saying I'm soooo busy, etc.) and he teaches very positively the HH methods!  No, I didn't say any of this very adequately, but I do recommend that you get this book! 
If anyone knows Mr. Graf - if for example he is on this forum - I would like to get in touch with him to ask some questions.

Thanks. You can join as a "Follower" by clicking a link on the blog menu there.  I have more content I'm developing in the near future, as well as some stuff that will be published in TBM first. 

Steve Graf is on the TAS forum as well as the traditional bowhunter magazine forum.  You can contact him through there I know.   

Great book BTW.

Well I had a great weekend of shooting and reading.  My new Big Five arrived along with Mr. Graf’s excellent book.

I hope to post a couple of pig pics before long.

This is an old red hog I took a few years ago.  "Back to Basics Camo", and a Howard Hill bow and Jerry Hill made arrow...Tuffhead 225 grain head.


 

[dragonheart]

Anyone know who this longbowman is?

 

 

[shick]

Jeff, that sure looks like an older Dick Hamilton.

[dragonheart]

You are correct.   

[two4hooking]

Long riser on that bow.

[dragonheart]

And beefy looking.  To me it has the appearance of a "homebrew" longbow, but not sure.   

[shick]

Jeff, I remember old photos of Dick carrying his longbow; with it's deep core and narrow limbs, you could identify the bow in a heartbeat.  Memories  of "The Alaska Bowman" magazine.

Looks like there is a new limited edition Howard Hill in production. 

[pavan]

Granted those limited edition Hills certainly look great and the attention to detail is special, do they shoot better than the regular issue standards?  I was asked by a local that was saving his penneys for the last one, but did not have enough.  He has no internet and was here looking at the pics.  The new one does look nice, but he was wondering if it would shoot better than a Tembo or Redman.  I did not want to say one way the other, because as in the case of the Redman model, they all seem to shoot a little bit different and even then I am not sure if I would say one is necessarily better than the other.

That new Hill [Bighorn} is sure a good looking stick..........

[Hoosierarcher88]

would you guys classify a bow like the maddog follower extreme as a hill style?
