They say that history repeats its self, and in my case that statement is holding true. Yrs ago when I was initiated into the trad. archery world a couple of my first quality bows were Jerry Hill longbows, but as with most the I caught the I gotta try them all bug and the J.H's were either sold or traded.
Well here I am, yrs. later and within the past few months have acquired not one, but two J.H's, and Im finding that I wouldnt part with them for nothing, they shoot better for me than some of the other customs Ive got, at 5 times the value.
Anybody else feel like they have gone full circle, when it comes to bows? (http://%20[url=http://images.imagelinky.com/1363300418.JPG%5D%20%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://images.imagelinky.com/1363300418.JPG)[/url] [/IMG]
Started with a Shakespeare recurve, went to longbows for a few years and now back with the 50's style recurves.
Hunted with this for my first few years...
