If the leather is latigo and firm, punching and leather lacing is way easier, unless you have some really good stitching equipment.

The leather is softer and a bit more pliable, not soft like buckskin but also not stiff like tooling leather. Just kind of in between

I am jealous of all you guys who can make stuff that looks and works so well. My efforts always fall short, but I am too stubborn to admit defeat. Pictures of these quivers and other gear keep me going. Of course, all these fantastic bows always keep me inspired. Now, if I only had more money! Congratulations to all you guys.

To add, after the last couple months of shooting I have come to one simple conclusion. The only style bow I want is a hill. I enjoy shooting these so much more than recurve or r/d longbows. This northern mist Shelton is purely a dream to shoot. When it comes time to finally order a new custom it will be a hill style

The bites just keep coming. I just picked up a new-to-me J.D. Berry Northstar.  Brown glass back.  White glass belly.  66”. 46@28.  Pretty excited to try her out.

Looking back through the many pages I'm seeing many beautiful bows. For the most part the majority are really fairly similar. What is something off the wall that hasn't really been done yet

"For the most part the majority are really fairly similar. What is something off the wall that hasn't really been done yet"

and that is exactly the reason they have a following...if you change the design, you change the nostalgia and they won't be a Hill bow.

Took the Shelton out for a little outing yesterday. Didn't have enough time to actually hunt so just did a little scouting trip.

What is everyone's take on the grip feel of the forward handle asl's? To me some look more like a locator than straight or dished

I would bet that you can get the handle shaped in any one of those styles that would suite you...I like a straight or a slight dish.

I'm the same way. The deep narrow grip of a hill bow just feels better than the bulkier grips on recurves. I keep leaning toward a forward handle as I would like something shorter and more maneuverable for hunting the thick stuff

I know Steve Turay will put any of his grips on any model of his bows. So you could have 60" Baraga with the same grip as your Shelton....good option.

I know not a ASL, but I recently acquired a northern mist superior, anyone know recommended Brace height?
