Not a problem there man. Sometimes you gotta have the real deal. I will say after shooting this northern mist shelton i dont forsee myself going back to recurve or r/d. I just enjoy shooting the hill style better.

I knew you'd be ruined!  :biglaugh:

Ok, now I'm excited again! :archer: Just picked up a 66" Wesley Special T/D. It is marked 50@28" but, the seller says weight was missed on it and it actually scales 44#@28".

Nice find!  How does the takedown handle compare to a straight grip on a one piece?  I have two Hills and I’m thinking about getting a 2-piece for travel.

Evan, of all the Hills I've owned this will be my first in a T/D model. I haven't received said bow yet, those pics are from the seller. I will however, post up a shooting report as soon as she gets here and let you know my thoughts on the handle. I do like the fact that I can take it apart for travel. Hint: There may be a trip in my future out east in 2019! :pray:

Just picked up this Hill Style back quiver. Think I'll make it into a roving quiver. :bigsmyl:

[/quote]Thanks Deno! I like that leaping deer also. This bow will make a great companion to the all Hill setup I'm working on. Have the quiver, bracer coming and will be ordering a Hill shooting glove tomorrow. I will then work on some wood shafts tipped with Howard Hill broadheads. :thumbsup:

Wow, after 3 days im finally finished reading through this entire thread. Lots of very useful info and many great looking bows. From what i see i am a bit of an oddball as most shoot split finger with a glove while i shoot 3 under with a tab and middle finger anchor. Ive tried the split with glove and just could never get use to it. 3 under with a tab just feels natural to me and i can gap or shoot split vision with ease. To each their own as with most things i guess.

Are you in the market for a Hill style after reading all these pages?  I don't see one in your signature line? :coffee:

C'mon...you know you want one!
