Title: 68" longbow
Post by: Al Dean on July 08, 2016, 05:30:00 PM

Found a bit of ambition and put this together for myself.  68" 43#@30" shallow profile, amberboo with black glass, riser shedua and bubinga with maple high light.

Nice one Al! How do you like the Hill styles?

I feel they shoot where you look a bit better than others.  A little shock in the hand but not enough to bother.

That's kinda what I've gathered from listening.

I'm fooling with ILF right now but wonder if I'm going the wrong way here....  :cool:

Yes you are, Kenny.  Long longbows is where it's at!!!    ;)  

Nice looking bow, Al.  You can't beat the classy looks of a simple longbow.
