Production is on hold at the moment as John recuperates from a hip replacement.  He does plan on getting back after it as soon as he can though from what I have heard!

I happened to see one over the weekend at a 3-D shoot....didn't shoot it, but it was a sharp looking bow!

His bows are well crafted.  I have a r/d long bow and a 59 replica. Both favorites of mine.

John has always been grouchy.

But he makes a very good bow!

I know The Footed Shaft has some of his Hill style bows, they had a flatbow but some lucky guy grabbed it before I could see it

My wife said the box is at the house. Got a few hours to wait before I can play with it.
