Title: So i just acquired a new david miller sage longbow
Post by: Tajue17 on October 16, 2025, 09:14:31 AM
I thought i heard he was out of buisness, it's a pretty mint bow and something told me to snag it....  those of you who are familiar with these bows this bow is 48@28 and it seems tomshoot pretty nice with some woodies i already have but im curious did dave tiller these for either split or 3 under or did he do one tiller only?

Were these for fast flight or b55 only?

And im thinking if im drawing this bow 27" that should be 45#,,, im thinking to try some 45-50 28" arrows?  Assuming he cut his shelf in the same depth as a Howard hill.

You were fortunate to snag that one, I dilly dallied too long and it looks like I'm going to have to luck out and get one of Mr. Miller's bows on the used market - I also heard he has quit making bows? Anyone hear anything different?

With a totally different bow on order i wasnt planning on another hill style but i knew these didnt show up all the time.   I want to shoot woods out of it and hoping i can use something here.

Try the woods you already have, you have nothing to lose but time. Congrats on a great bow.

Nice catch, and based on my experience with his bows, you may find 40-45 spine best, or start with a longer shaft than 27".  No FF, B-50 or equivalent. Split finger.

Thanks everyone for the posts... okay sounds good on the arrrows i think i have a new dozen if elite 40/45's but they might be 5/16 not sure.... im figuring the miller will like 10gpi to shoot best.
