I had the chance to shoot a Hill Country Wildcat hybrid longbow at the Kazoo show last weekend. I shot close to 20 bows and this one was by far my favorite. Super good craftsmanship and performance. This was the quietest bow that I have ever shot. Absolutely loved it and plan to order one soon. Does anyone out there have any experience with this bow?
I'll do a search on here as there were several other threads recently asking about them.
Doug S. uses one in his "Lettin Loose" video to kill a couple turkeys. Doug also won some sort of competition with one.

Also, good meeting you Rob. I was with Colin in the parking lot when we got there.
I first shot the Wildcat the end of last summer and was real impressed. I have been trying to get my hands on that bow again for months. If the 64" at the show was a 62" I would have walked off with it Friday night. I talked to Roman yesterday to go over the details of my new Wildcat. The harvest master is also a great bow.
I have shot many of his bows and prototypes. You won't find a better guy or better craftsmanship. Very nice bows.
Kenny, Great meeting you and talking about the Hill Country bows with you. I can't keep that 64" camo Wildcat hybrid out of my mind. I have a 2010 Centaur that I am thinking about selling in order to buy the H.C. Roman seems like a top notch guy too.
I owned one.Awesome bow.Great speed and great workmanship in them. :thumbsup:
You won't find a better bow at any price. Hill Country's are one of the most unknown bows out there and his finish work is unbeatable and can only be matched by a Thunderhorn. Hill Country's perform as well as they look with them being the only bow I can honestly say is hunting quiet without silencers. I've got to get a Wildcat before Roman gets backed up to a year. I've narrowed my bows down to Hill Country, Thunderhorn, Black Canyon, Centaur and A&H in no particular order. I've owned "HUNDREDS" of bows so I've tried almost all of them.
I shot the Wildcat at Kalamazoo and talked with Roman a bit about it. I decided to go with another bow, but Roman seems like a great guy to deal with. According to my personal taste, I thought the Wildcat was the prettiest bow at the Expo.
I shot plenty of bows there and I kept gravitating back to Roman's. They are fast, quiet, and the workmanship is great.
There may be a Wildcat in my future. One more bow to check out.
To your question Robert, I bought a Harvest Master for my wife last summer. It's smooth and fast. No hesitation from me on recommending Roman.
Roman called me and he will be at the Kentucky tradfest April 1 with his wildcats.
Sure wish I could make that trip with you guys Doug :knothead: :deadhorse:
GOOD BOWS FOR SURE,,,
