Back when I could pull more weight I gave away a light weight forward handle bow that was one of the best shooters I ever shot.  Now that I've wrecked a shoulder, I'd do anything to have that bow back!

Holy moly brian that morning star looks sweet love the handle and how it doesnt crescent out like the rest u see. Looks like an actual american style turned around. So glad im on the list for one of these dudes. Now the wait lol.

Brian is this the bow that Mr Berry made for himself? (I hope so)

After his spring archery 3D season he will be shipping his personal bow to me for comments...lol

I'm kindof on the fence on the morningstar, it looks like its been strung backwards, just one mans opinion.

It does look like its being string backwards for sure. Aesthetics have always held me back on these style bows, but I think James nailed this one in that the riser maintaines that classics American longbow look

Okie man

That "Morningstar" is the most beautiful bow I've ever seen. WOW! I usually search the threads for Hill style bow topics but I somehow overlooked this one until now. I am so glad I got on James list for one of these when Brian posted that he would make one. As usual, James' bows do not disappoint.

I cannot believe that Mudd doesn't have one of these.  I was about to pull the trigger on one myself, when my water heater gave out.  Then the plumber checked my furnace when it did not start up right and declared later that he could not find the parts to fix it.  If it is not the kids needing money, it's the house.  Now I've got the 'green mit envy blues' again.

I'm about 6 weeks away from getting my new forward handle from Jim Belcher. Anticipation....   :coffee:

The Morningstar is straight up cool looking Brian. Fine looking riser and sweet fades!

We know that Howard shot a forward handle longbow because there is a photo of him in John Schulz's book "Hitting 'em Like Howard Hill".

Lots of pictures and video of him shooting and hunting with recurves too. To me a "Hill" style bow is bow like his "regular" handled backset or string follow longbows.
