Are there any that shoot only

Hill style bows. Think I've been bit. Longing for something simpler, quieter. Just wondering out loud.   :campfire:

Davey I am like you I LOVE THEM ALL, I too go through phases of liking a certain style bow and at one time shoot hill bows only for a short while.
I haven't had many trad bows I didn't like.
Keep us posted on what bow your testing .

What is your string preference, FF or Dacron?

Dude, the HILL BUG thread??? Helloooo???   ;)   :D

LOL.  I'm like Savior', I enjoy all styles of bows if made and designed well.  

--->Fastflight material hands down, it deadens the bump significantly on many Hill bows.

  I will gladly burn rolls of Dacron for free if anyone wants to send me some LOL.  Then again it makes good nock point material!

Davey, FF for me, good old D97 makes a fine string. I try Dacron every once in a while, maybe one of these times it'll stick. Like Nine9 said, it makes a fine nock point.

Can you kill something with one of those ?  Does it take, like, five arrows ?   :banghead:
