How about does anyone actually have a longbow that Howard Hill actually owned and or shot? I'd love to see one, know the specs on it etc...

Craig Ekins has one at Howard Hill Archery in the back of the shop under a plastic tarp. This was as of 1990 or so. Some of his arrows that he used in Africa as well. Not suprisingly, lots of broken nocks. The guy was from another planet.

Hi Cody!  Try to make it to the K'zoo Expo in January.  There's usually a good bit of early Hill items on display there.
