Title: Tell me about your Carolina Night longbow!
Post by: Russ Clagett on June 06, 2014, 01:55:00 PM
I'm thinking of a Hill style bow with string follow and like the look of this one...would love to know all about this bow and see any pix you may be willing to share....

I'm actually looking for a new bow as a retirement gift to myself and can't decide between the HH, the Berry, or this one....help me out here.......

They are a really fine Hill bow. Mine is 49#@28" and scales exactly that. Zero hand shock and not just quiet but dead silent. All you hear is the arrow swish. Beautiful silky smooth draw. The standard design does have a smallish grip. I like a deep grip so I built mine up with leather strips on the back and belly and re-wrapped it.

It's in the middle of my Hill rack:

Russ,

Mike makes a great bow, I have owned a couple back when I shot longbows, not the Hill style but his r/d style, though it was not real agressive r/d. All the bows you are thinking about would be a great bow, only one I have shot and owned besides the 7 Lakes is the Hill and it was a Wesly Special.

If you like this style of bow, this is one of the best.  (//%5Burl=http://imgur.com/4E5zGOM%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://i.imgur.com/4E5zGOM.jpg)[/url] [/IMG]
