I like my Halfbreed, just a great bow to shoot and a joy to carry, But I have to ask. Is this going to be over 700 pages also......      

It can be CONTAGIOUS!    

A nice stout longbow a shoulder quiver full of cedar and a quiet morning.

It's like Frosty's hat...it's just that "Magic" that makes them come alive in your hand.

God bless,Mudd

And they easily convert to a walking stick! What else needs to be said?

Dragonheart, some mighty fine pictures.

ron w I just got a halfbreed and they do shoot good. I love the Yew on it. It's magical.This is my second Hill and my first Hill will be my backup. Eleven days till deer season opens up and I'm ready as can be. I killed a rabbit with it yesterday in the "yard" a headshot at 34 paces. Did I say she shoots good? Good shootin you all.

Cahaba....

now you're talkin'....nothing wrong with shooting good past the 'accepted norm' of 20 yards....you're ready for bigger game!

I've owned a lot of good recurves and longbows. My confidence is now starting to grow with my Hills.

I'll tell you though, when I'm shooting my Hills and my grips just right, I'm lined up perfectly, back tension is building, building and the string slips smooth from my fingers, OH,BAABBY, it feels as good as..... um, well... a really good shot.

I meant to add, I haven't found another bow that feels that way to me.

Might be a topic for a separate conversation but not only is longer range shooting great fun but I find it absolutely invaluable to good shooting "up close" ...

For all the talk these days of FPS , Carbon backing and EFOC , I am always amazed at the amount of archers i meet that don't know their point on .

I'd encourage everyone to shoot longer ranges during practice, take them shots across the ravine shots  .. up and down whilst stumping and maybe shoot some Field Tourneys  .... it'll pay off big time in the end .

Not to hijack this great thread but thanks Nate for helping me get the 20 yard mentality out of the way. Not that I would just take haphazard long range shots very often but magic can happen if we train for such shots.

Check out the Howard Hill section, Nate will be teaching us how to increase our shooting range and accuracy.
