While not true Hill styles perhaps, I never can get what the big deal is between variants like the eaglewing or mohawks or even my robertsons. I have shot Mohawks and lots of Robertsons, perhaps I can tell that a 70 inch AFL is different than a 60" R/D, but when the AFL gets shorter and the R/D gets longer, that stability/forgiveness line is hard to find. I certainly do not find that I need to change anything in my form and they seem to handle the same. For someone going from a deep gripped recurve to a longbow, perhaps a mild R/D or sixby's variation could be a better choice as a first low grip longbow.
