Blaine, I have one, carbon glass, back and belly over bamboo, Ebony riser, 62"65@28" sweet shooting bow, I draw 25.5" and shoot 2018's out it! It shoot great, a bit fancy for the woods, but a great bow! Jacques

Well my 1st hill bow arrived in the mail today, it's a redman with chi Chen riser 66" 48# @ 27" too bad I'm a truck driver and won't get to see it till sunday. Gonna be a long 4 days!

kybownut, now that is what you could call torture! :eek:

Just picked this Hill Wesley Special up in a trade. 66" and 65@27, black glass with an ebony riser...what a beast! I traded a 62" Hill Ruffed Grouse, 48@26.5 for it so the 17 lbs is quite a jump for me but I wanted a heavy workout bow and this seems to be it. I'm partial to straight wedge grips but the locator grip on this is actually pretty nice to shoot...nice little thump on the loose and alot smoother than what I expected for a heavyweight. Not quite ready to shoot a 30 target 3D course with it yet but I think we'll get there

How many Hill shooters are using, or have used clickers for panic issues or improve their form? I am curious of results as I know I've seen a few post they've been using them...

Not me

David Mitchell · May 08, 2014, 12:03:00 PM

R.V.T.B. · May 08, 2014, 04:58:00 PM

You having TP issues Matt?

kybownut · May 11, 2014, 02:57:00 PM

For you guys that nock above the nock set what is a good starting point? Got to shoot my new redman some yesterday I was impressed at its performance,but it's is definitely gonna take some practice on my part after shooting my predator recurve for so long! The redman is really a lot faster than I expected it to be. I'm gonna dedicate myself to it and my hill back quiver.let the journey begin! I'm loving it already.

Green · May 11, 2014, 03:50:00 PM

That's a great plan KyBN.....start 1/8" above and make every shot count! Pics of said bow and back quiver forthcoming, right?

Rob DiStefano · May 11, 2014, 03:52:00 PM

i prefer to nock under a string nock point because it's the middle finger (split finger) or pointer finger (3 under or 2 under) that should be carrying the lion's share of the string load at full draw.

kybownut · May 11, 2014, 04:12:00 PM

Thanks guys, I was thinking nocking above would help with back quiver use.(per john schultz) I'm open to suggestions! Maybe I can get someone to help me post some pics when I get back off the road .

Dan bree · May 12, 2014, 10:17:00 AM

I really don't see any differance in shooting above or below the nock. But I like below because it holds my arrow while on stand.

Paul_R · May 12, 2014, 11:34:00 AM

Those of us who set two nocking points get the best of both worlds... :D

I find it just as fast to nock under than how John Schulz says to do it with nock over. Probably what you get used to, so if you practice nocking without looking at the nock point, you can get adept at it, no matter if you nock under or over.
