How do these bows compare to each other? Demensions of the bows and how do they shoot, hand shock etc...
they tend to shoot pretty much the same if they are built the same ie set back / straight or strring follow ...
I have 7 Hill bows made by Craig which are all set back and approx 68" in length . i have a couple shorter but mainly shoot my set back longbows at 68" for my 26 1/2 draw length .
my miller " o'l Tom " is a string follow that is 66" in length and a beautifully made sweet shooting bow . My Hills seem a little more robust as io tend to order them with limb tips [ not an option with the Miller ] .
my next order will be another of Craig's but using his string follow form ... we'll wait and see !!!
you can't go wrong with either bowyer .. both great blokes who will bend over backwards to make you happy .
As for " handshock " ... yes they have more 'bump' than other bows but they are pretty much all i shoot these days as afield they are still the best stick and string meat maker i know of . but that's just me , you'll have fun deciding for yourself .
any queries let me know / pm me

I like my Old Tom better. String follow and Brown. I am very happy with it.
Something I can use to give an analogy of it is: The Old Tom is like a race car, not an unnecessary gram on it. Very direct hunting tool.
You can't go "wrong" with either one, but I feel the Old Tom is superior.
