Title: HH Longbow help
Post by: marshratTC on April 01, 2012, 09:37:00 PM
What is the difference in a longbow and a HH longbow? Is it just the style of the grip? I have noticed that the HH longbows seem to be smaller grips rather than the pistol like or larger grips of some of the other longbows that I've seen. I would like something with a smaller grip, and I really like the simplicity of the HH style of longbow.

HH style refers to the straight or back sef limbs that are norrow and thick.  Alot of the other longbows are Reflex Deflex they are simular in limb design to a recurve, wide and thin.

You can get any sized grip from Hill Archery that you want. If you want to shoot that bow somewhat like Hill shot, you will want a straight grip or the slight saddle. Hill used a larger and sharper grip than most would want, it requires really getting your full hand on the grip.
