Meet "Give A Hoot!" My Howard Hill "Owl". Osage/Bamboo limbs, African Blackwood riser and limb tips. Straight grip w/natural deer wrap and lacing. 68", 51# @ 29". I ordered this bow on the 6th of this month and it arrived at 10:15 this morning. That is a quick turnaround! :D

Gotta love those Howard Hill bows. Congrats on your purchase. Craig does a great job. Can't beat the turn-a-round you got on that bow. Must be hunting season not buying season. :thumbsup:

Congrats! I love Howard Hill Bows! They are so elegant and really fling an arrow. Sure, other bows may be faster but very few are as cool!

Like a 66 Vette Fastback! Classic and fun to handle!

I did not get a chance to shoot yesterday due to rain and today is shaping up to be the same way. I will try and get some shooting reports in between now and the end of the weekend. Need to get an arrow matched up to the bow! :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the great comments folks. She sure is a beauty!

Jim, I'd love to do just that! Got to wait and see how things are going to turn out before I decide if I'm going to use it on my late hunt.

Man, every time I see a picture of a new Hill bow, I realize that if I were a rich man, Craig would be one busy bowyer. Very pretty bow.

Got some spider silencers for the string and a new HH glove. Gonna do some shooting today and see how she performs. Will be shooting AD Trad Lites cut 29.5 bop, with 145gr up front to start with. I need to get a set of woods made up for it but, for now the carbons is all I've got to work with.
