Great looking bow!! I thought that for a 29" draw, a minimum of 68" bow was the norm?? I'm new to the Hill bows. Have you put it true the scale to see what you get for #@29?
Cheers
David

Frank, I was thinking the same thing about the grip leather...that stuff looks thick! And besides, it's too clean-looking to be on a working man's bow, lol.

Nice find. It's hard to beat a Hill.

Congrats Frank! That's a beauty and yeah, replace that grip!I often thought about buying a Hill, but for some reason it never happened...

Hill style bows are great however the grip size and shape need to fit the shooters hand yours may be just fine. I like a wedge grip sized to my hand it made me a better shot.mho
