The thing about getting used is rarely the life span of the bow, but quite often just not quite the right fit for the new owner. The grip size, poundage and length are very important, it is not a one size fits all. Some get them and figure that their form will be the same. If you already shoot close to longbow form the adjustment will be minimal, but if you have a log draw, vertical bow, bridging grip and a straight bow arm, the adjustments will require more of a change. There may be a considerable drop in draw length, again it all depends where you are starting from. It is possible to do things differently and everyone does things slightly their own way. Even John Schulz is not precisely the same as Howard Hill, but the fundamentals are the same. If you have not done so, the Schulz videos available on You Tube are the place to start. You do not need a long draw and heavy Hill to easily kill a deer. I used to shoot very heavy bows, now I find 60 down to 50 pounds much more fun. I know one fellow that has taken 4 elk with a 52@26 pound Hill style bow. As far as which bow, they all will work, given the fit is right. My wife has just joined the ranks, the Hill form was only a slight adjustment from her current bow, but with a few shots she found the groove and was hooked. She says that there is something about her Hill and the Hill form that just go together. If a 62 year old deer killing grandma can do it, you can to.
