I know you all love them so let me hear some of the hill style bow makers you know of.
Thanks,
Ari
Craig Ekin,Montana
Craig Ekin, Nate Steen, David Miller
Steve Turay at Northern Mist, Nate Steen at Sunset Hill, Jim Belcher's Union Jack is a great bow.

Don't forget Marty Thompson of Apex Predator Bows, Ron Maulding Bighorn Bows, & Dick Wightman in Washington. Dick has made quite a few having some big fun with his favorite Hill passion, Marty's bows are flawless, & I've been shooting a Maulding 75#'er everyday since I got it from Leo 2 months ago.
great responses, if you know there websites please add them.
Thanks,
Ari
Howard Hill, Dave Miller , Jim Belcher , northern Mist and Nate Steen all build exceptional bows.
I tend to drift between Belcher Union Jacks , Craig's Howard Hills and my Miller Ol' Tom.
Gonna have to get me one of Marty's Apex Cumberlands...he is a sponsor here.
Dave Wallace and his Wallace Mountain longbows are hard to beat!!
One of the finest out there--Wallace Mountain longbow by Dave Wallace of Marietta, Ohio. He won the IBO World Championship, Triple Crown, and Shooter of the Year with his Hill style longbow. And they are works of art.
What is the mountain longbow website, I cant find it?
Nathan Steele, Bama Bows can be added to the list and I'll vouch for his Hill style.
The Mohawk classic would fit into this category right? They are very sweet and accurate as well.
My opinion counts, at my house, if I'm home alone..lol
God bless,Mudd
Jim Martin of Mahantango custom bows.
John McDonald "Big River Bows" builds a very nice Hill Style bow.
Dan Toelke, www.montanabows.com (http://www.montanabows.com) makes an extremely fine Hill style bow, his "Super D".
Frank San Marco...........Schultz's used to say...."either buy one of my bows or one of his".
I second Nathan Steele and Bama Bows. Great guy and bows..
God Bless
Dave Wallace (Wallace Mountain Lonbows)does not have a web site--sells bows by word of mouth mainly. Some of the absolute finest workmanship you will ever find.
Steve Turay at Northern Mist
Where would I go to find pictures of these bows, because I can't find websites for a lot of these makers?
Thanks.
a 'hill style' longbow means to me long, narrow, rectangular cross sectioned limbs that are either reflex, straight or w/string follow, complimented by a straight handled short riser.
That pretty much sums up what I'm looking for(straight handle and narrow limbs with no curve).
