Nice Pic Two Tracks.

I'm ordering my Hill SF in the next week or two, just in time for spring stump shooting     ;)

Would love to see more.  I've been perusing the "HH bit... 1000 page +" thread for combination ideas.  

Good stuff, love it!

Northern Mist Shelton string follow, 68", 49@28".  Limbs are bamboo with green glass and myrtle riser.  She's sweet.  I have owned three other SF bows--another Shelton and two Howard Hills which I sold.  I prefer the slight back set limbs from both makers, but this one will stay with me permanently as it was a retirement gift from two hunting buddies.....Dave

This picture shows a Northern Mist SF on the left and a Howard Hill on the right.  You can see difference in the two.  Hills do not have quite as much string follow as the NM.

I recently had a brief ownership of one of James Northstar's.  Excellent shooting bow....got my mind made up for a string follow in the future, but y'all don't say anything to the guy above me about that.  And before confusion sets in, this is an unstrung reverse handled bow.  Lol

Some say that SF bows are too slow. This deer would probably argue the point if he could. HH Wesley, 55# String Follow.

Love this bow. It's one of Allen Boice's Liberty "Classic Elite" string follow longbows. Shot it a few times and wouldn't let him have it back...   :thumbsup:    :archer2:

Here are a few pics of my Union Jack. String Follow; 66" 57# @ 28"; ebony riser with English yew from a 300 year old yew tree felled by a storm in Stafford-shire, England in 2001.

Katman- Allen from Liberty bows made up a Classic for a pass around bow .  I had it for awhile and was really impressed by it.  It is in California now.  Contact Allen and maybe you can try it when Stump Buster is done with it.

Allen lives in "yew country". The limb veneers on mine are from some high quality yew cut years ago. Oregon guy + Oregon yew = great combo!

I love my Echo string follow longbow. Quiet, smooth, forgiving and handles heavy arrows remarkably well. I'm experimenting with 610gn. wood shafts and am quite impressed.
