Title: Howard Hill Halfbreed Arrived!
Post by: SteveMcD on March 10, 2008, 08:25:00 AM
My New Howord Hill Halfbreed arrived today. She is 66 inches and draws 52@28. Bamboo core with extra lam of bamboo and Yew on the Belly and Back, with Cocobolo handle and overlays! What a work of art! She is beautiful! And she is named Autumn's Whisper.  
 
I took her to shoot. And she draws as smooth, and is as accurate as any bow I've ever shot, with no hand shock or stack of any kind. Besides aesthetically a beauty. This is now one of my favorites.

Really nice! I am thinking about a Howard Hill bow as well. Just can't decide between a Big Five or a Cheetah. Now I have to think about maybe a Halfbreed!

Don't worry Don - you'll eventually own them all anyway! These Hills are addictive!

Boy that is a nice looking bow. Nothing better than a classic Hill longbow. Have fun!
