I know all about it. My favorite at the moment is a 66" Wesley drawing 58@28. In fact, most of my bows are within a pound or two of that draw. Nothing feels like bamboo, whether in a bow limb or a fly rod.

I think every one who buys, sells or trades bows has the one that they wish they had back. Mine was a 68" 58@28 Wesley with clear glass, an ebony riser, dished grip and no tip overlays. That one ended up going to a new home when money was tight way back in the mid '90s and I still miss it.

Right now, the stable is down to the Wesley, a Cheetah and 10 or 11 other assorted longbows, all similar in profile to a Hill. Add in a couple of '50s style recurves and my project next week is to make some racks for bows and flintlocks.

Good choice

Any pictures Kevin?

I always love these threads !!! I am not sure how many fellas I have warned about trying out a Hill bow.Believe me I found out years ago about the Hill Bug !!!!!!!

Well, that dose it. I've got a couple weeks left here before the season is out and I'm gonna finish it with my HH Big 5. 55@28" 68". Really like shooting that bow.

Why did I look at this thread again? Dern you guys. Ebony, ebony, ebony, now I am going to have to look at the website. I think I am going to get a whipping.

African Blackwood makes a great contrasting riser wood against lighter colored limb cores. Here is my "Owl" that is Osage/African Blackwood.

 

Outstanding looking bow.

Beautiful.

Here's a couple more Ebony ones for you guys! It looks really nice with clear glass, but I prefer black glass with mine!

 
 
 

The Hill bug bit me several years ago but he was nothing compared to the latest one that got me - the Sunset Hill Bug....a vicious little critter whose bite causes severe anxiety, hair loss, nail biting, and a rapid loss of available funds!      Thank goodness the treatments aren't TOO expensive LOL!

Every time I've seen this bow I've drooled.

I can't imagine trying to hunt with it unless out in a white sand desert or a full on blanket of snow..lol

Thanks for showing it off again.

God bless,Mudd

That's a beautiful bow David!   Must resist this ebony temptation...

Mudd, my new Tembo is going to shock you if you like that one! I won't tell ya what it looks like yet, except that David and I share the same taste. Should be here this week some time.    :D

So...are you ready to sell the GOOD MOAB now! LOL!

Good try but that bow has sentimental value and i want my son to have it.

Aww,sell the bow and give Hayden the arrow. It did all the work anyhow!        

Hey spanky,whats the wood in the last riser? Is that verawood?
