Sacrilege!  Suppose it would work, but I've never tried it.  Sorry.   :)

I haven't, but I don't have a Hill.  The Hill is a bow.  The carbon arrow is an arrow.  Not sure what is missing there 8^))))).  They will work fine, but I would make sure you use a fairly heavy carbon since you are dealing with a straight limbed bow.  May even work very well 8^).  Just remember to spine on the light side since the Hill is not near centershot.

I use the AD Hammerheads with my Hill style long bow.  Works great! I use a damascus glove.

I shoot both wood and carbon with my HH. I have never tried aluminums. Use what you like.

Never tried carbons with my Hills, mostly wood. However, 2117 aluminum works really great. I prefer my Douglas Fir though.

I do.  My 66" Halfbreed (60@29) likes Carbon Express Heritage 250s and GrizzlyStick Alaskans just fine.  It shoots both quietly and straight.

carbons shoot great, but I use woodies. everything else ends up too long, crazy head weights, or noisy shafts. With wood you get good mass, heavy point, and solid shooting arrow. Heavier the better for quietness and the speed only decreases a very little w/ heavy shafts. carbons do work nicely too, just takes a bit of monkeying

My Northern Mist Classic just loves a Beman MFX400 with 300g on the front. Otherwise it wood.

My Hills like Gold Tip 3555's.  Thos eshoot out of most every bow I have. I shoot from 48-52# Hills at my 28 1/2" draw. I usually put arond 200 grains up front just to bring total weight up a bit--not really needed the EFOC stuff to this point in my long career of bow hunting (about 40 years).

Gold tip 3555's cut to 29.5 50 gr brass insert with 145 point, this shoots out of my Hill Big Five 66" 48# @ 28 I'm pulling 27.5 or so I like the carbon because my Hills have always liked a 5/16" shaft you may want to play around with a 5575 gold tip but with more weight up front, my shafts come out at @ 475 gr. and Hills like heavy shafts to keep thing quiet and keep the hand shock in control.
