Slick! Any problem pulling the arrows out with the smaller opening?

None whatsoever. I put my hunting arrows tipped with 2 blade Steel Force broadheads and they came out easy and ride quietly. This will be my only quiver for my Hill bows now.

Nice looking quiver....and the arrows ain't too shabby neither TW.  How'd things go once you finally found an open area to hunt?

The weather has been exceptionally warm and making it slow going as the deer aren't moving much. I did see a few does though and will be heading back out this Thursday. It is calling for rain and cooler temps so, here's hoping.   :pray:

Ahhh, Bud, a beautiful LEFT HANDED bow.  The way a bow should be made.    :saywhat:

The road to "Sherwood" makes for an awesome journey.

Knawbone,
She is super sweet shooter for sure.  I'm loving it.  
I have shot a few cheetahs , and they were all superbly beautiful and smooth shooters too. Sounds like your cheetah is a winner

Awesome bow Brian. What woods did you choose?

It's all yew limbs, brown glass back, clear belly. Myrtle riser encased in African wenge.
I have a thread started that shows the woods closer

Those yew cores with that brown glass is a beautiful combo.

And one of my favorite targets ever made



The 1 gallon milk jug.  You throw it out, shoot it, it moves and rolls to a different angle and you shoot again.

Plus I figure when I can keep 9 out of 10 in the jug from 0-25yds I'm doing alright. I like to shoot at them up to 50 yards

And, if you lose your arrows in the grass or woods it pays to have a couple of these
The nose


And the drive


The lab and the pittie have saved me on more than one occasion

I was going to post a thread about this, but since you guys were talking about Cheetah's I will throw it in here. I just picked a Cheetah up from another Tradganger. Nice bow but I am getting crazy arrow flight with it. When I release I see a visible tail kick, It is 50@29 and I am drawing about 27.5 I have tried 3555s and Easton aluminum 2019s, with all sorts of tip weights, cut to 30".
I am also shooting three under so I nocked about 1/2 inch above. I have bare shafted with inconsistent results.  It is really driving me crazy here folks, any suggestions? What do you guys find fly well out of your Hills?
