I bow to the critter slayer

I'm gonna give this Hill style bow a chance. I pulled the trigger on a stock bow Craig had. 68" 57@28 Wesley Special. clear glass and carmelized boo. Can't wait!  

I have five ASL's, but none of Craig's. That one sounds nice!

Good shootin, Sam!  

Way to go Sam!

Sam, be honest! So what do you really think of this
Hill thing?    Jacques

Congrats! You will love you Wesley Special

There's just something about a "Hill style" bow that "does it"!!

I love my trips to "Sherwood"...

God bless,Mudd

Sam is going to bring Kramer made ASLs back in fashion  

Way to go Sam!

Has anybody ordered the new "Legend Stick" from Howard Hill Archery?

To answer Jacques question ( what do I really think of this Hill thing ) well I do think I like it and like it a lot. I think it is a rough learning curve on getting it all down but reading all of this thread has helped me along. I think these bows are tough to get along with until you reach the point for the ol brains light bulb to go from a flicker to a good steady light. It took me a bit to figure it out ( and still have a ways to go ) I think take in what you can and use what works for you. I think I like to read and listen and learn then actually try the method and either keep it or trash it depending on how it fits me. And I guess I have a mix of shooting styles , sometime I hold and sometime I shoot fast and at times I'm not sure what I did but I'm hitting my intended target. I like back quivers and wood arrows and plaid shirts and a sharp broadhead and I like hunting with this gear.
This Hill style bow was the absolute most frustrating time I ever had shooting a bow many times I almost had bamboo firewood. But now we are good friends and are getting along very well also it was good for me to have a good buddy ( Kevin Davis ) to talk with and work through it all. I have many books to read and studyin to do but I think it can only get better , what I like best is how hunting and shooting these bows makes me feel about myself while doing it The Hard Way so to speak. Not that you are better than anyone else for doing it this way just you have worked for it and taking the trail that not so many walk on now days. I tip my hat for you guys that walk that trail cause it ain't an easy one from what I have experienced so far but it's been so much fun so far. Anyway I think I like this Hill bow thing......

Very well said Sam, and your right when it clicks there is a very special feeling shooting and hunting with the Hill style bows.

Congrats on your success this season

Sam, I think you "nailed it" for me as well with..." what I like best is how hunting and shooting these bows makes me feel about myself while doing it."

I said the same thing in a little different way.."It's not how the bow feels but how the bow makes me feel when I put my hand to it."

I love my trips to "Sherwood"!

God bless,Mudd

You got it Sam....you have to change your way of thinking but it is well worth the effort!

My Wesley Special came today. It is marked 57@28, Dacron string. I pull it 28.5". Playing around this afternoon with a 29.25" 2018, I'm gonna let ya'll guess what point weight I ended up with. I was surprised, but I'm green as spring grass with this type bow!

Good deal , I want to try one of those myself good luck with it.....

I just received the Dave Johnson (66" 45#@28") I bought from Green (thanks, Rob!)

No photos, as everyone is probably tired of seeing black back, white belly bows, but this is one nice bow, and what a sweet shooter.

I needed a lighter weight bow that I could shoot a lot and not get tired too fast, and this one fits the bill perfectly.
