Can not provide you an pdate with regard to your question.

I do however have a viable option. Try a booney cap. I dampened the brim and rolled it down, slightly angled and let it set for a couple of hours. Since it works well with a hi anchor and a 62" bow, you should likely be in good shape.

Like mine so well that I plan on procuring the same type of booney in a different camo pattern.

There's someone selling some on the big auction site.  If no sponsors here have them, that's an option.

check out brothers of the bow. They are a sponser here. the brim of the hat has a wire in it so you can bend it to fit your shooting style.

A good pair of tin snips will make any hat a "short" bill. Been doing it for years

i will be wearing a friends army watch cap.  He will be deploying to Afghanistan in a couple of weeks, and I plan to wear this hat everyday of the entire hunting season and well into the turkey season.  I hope to record all of the important dates on the bill of the hat then return it to its rightful owner on his safe return home.

Stickbowman has a good one, stick and string hat. $20 has a wire in the bill so you can adjust it. But for cold weather I would check out the wool bomber hat from Gray wolf woolens. Both are sponsors on here.
