HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Ben Maher]

First hunt if the season for deer was good to me. Brush blind and file sharpened 190 grain ribtek made quick work which was good because it was darn hot!

Nice work Greg ...
I am somewhat shocked that you used a broadhead as primitive and cheap as a Ribtek , and file sharpening ? Cant be true , definitely shouldn't even work

The next one will be with this unsharpenable head and POC arows

Opening morning

[toddster]

Opening day in Illinois, so far me and northern mist american, seen 5 deer, hunting on ground.  Flung arrow at Doe, but missed.  Great opening day.

[Tim Reese]

That’s cool Todd. I seen 2 doe and they never new I was there in my chair. Just outside my range but was still exciting for sure. I like to use the chair in mornings when I’m going in blind and don’t have a tree picked out. It’s a lot quieter and can adjust if need be. Evenings I use my climber since I can go in and take my time setting up.

[Tim Reese]

Finally connected tonight with a doe. Now it’s all about bucks! Used my HH cheetah and homemade cedar arrows tipped with 125gr Ace heads from my climber and on public land to boot.

Oh and a bow quiver on a asl

Nice shot Tim-congrats!

[Tim Reese]

Thanks mike

[toddster]

Great shot Tim, nice Doe.  I got a shot yesterday with my Northern mist American, but she was little further than I thought, sailed under her with no injury.  Didn't frighten her or others, by time got another arrow on string they had fed further away.  Still great hunt.

Ready to take the Maddog Follower Extreme longbow on a woods walk with woodies.

Great looking rig set up Rob

The last bow that Mike built, specifically for me, a most wonderful and appreciated surprise gift.  The riser length and fade length is a bit shorter than the ones Mike normally made, and that made the working limb to total length a bit different.  That ratio difference required making the limb stack a bit thicker to achieve a draw weight suitable for hunting.  This turned out to be not unlike the Sparrowhawk design I worked on with Vince (Mohawk Bows).  The limb cores are walnut and the riser core is Spectra laminate, 65" ntn and 45@29.  Love this string follow longbow. Thank you, Mike

Sure am liking my Follower Extreme though it wasn't exactly a gift. LOL

I made a little vid with some old videos. Enjoy!

Can’t believe how young I looked in those first shots.

Greg, much thanks for sharing.  Your dedication to the Hill style bow is above and beyond what most of us try or are willing  to do.  Please continue to share your experiences.
