I believe that is the video that planted the seed for my interest in longbows/traditional archery.  I am 41.  When I was a kid in the early 80's there was some movie on TV one night my dad, some neighbor kids, and I were watching.  It was on one of the major networks (ABC, CBS, or NBC) as that was the only stations we had.  The movie ended about 10-15 minutes early and to fill the time they stuck this HH short film..  We were amazed.  All of us shot compounds (what I call traditional compound as we used no sight, release, just bare bow) but I always wanted a longbow since.  I finally scratch the itch 10-12 years ago when I saw some ad for HHA.  Thanks for the memories.  You don't know how often I have thought about that short film over the past 30+ years.

That video makes me want a Howard Hill style bow.  Wow...very good shooting.  

Do you all really think his bow is 172#'s????

"Points on arrows". Is one of my favorite Howard Hill videos!  I wish they could clean up the grainy footage and convert it to modern HD format to preserve it forever.   Howard was an amazing shot with his longbow.   Something i can always strive for.   Thanks for posting this video Cody.  I enjoyed it.  ~Steve

Hey Bill........Your house is where I saw that video!  That was a long time ago!

I hope you're doing well.  We need to shoot together for old times sake.  I'll start making "lots" of arrows!
