SOS ,I changed my shooting style back to the way I began years ago. I hit solid anchor but don`t hold as long.Shoot with a bent elbow and the shoulder feel very good.Kinda conducive to the Hill style bows I might add. A few years ago I bought the John Shulz video on shooting and started practicing it for those fast shots.Went hunting on Ocmulgee and killed a sow that spooked and was three steps into her run.I still would shoot the more "set" style on other shots. Now I shoot Hill or Shulz style and shoot as good as I ever have.RC

I was thinking I needed a Cheetah my daughter has one, I went out with my all yew and my custom tillered Half breed Hills and decided it would not be fair for them to compete with another bow. My daughter's bow is only 36 pounds but it kills deer and turkeys yours will be wonderful, stick with it and have fun.

Congrats, RC.  Hope you have good luck with your new Hill.  Just curious, what arrows do you plan to shoot?  Have always liked wood for my longbows, especially the Hills.  Nice and quiet.

TSP, right now I`m shooting 2018`s out of a Wesley with 225 grain broadheads. I HOPE they`ll shoot out of the new bow as well.RC
