so I got to head to Millersburg yesterday to meet up with one of the best bow makers in Ohio Roman Hershberger at Hill Country bows.a few weeks ago I took delivery of my competition bow basically a wild cat with a longer riser constructed primarily of phenolicwith some curly maple stripes for accent. The phenolic not only made the bow heavier it eliminated any chance for hand shock and acts  to stabilize the bow on the shot. I can definitively say this is the smoothest shooting longbow I have ever held. the bow specs are 47 pounds at 28 and 66 inches long we measured the bow through the chronograph and consistently got 200 to 202 feet per second with a 360 grain arrow. it will be my primary bow for competition this year and I can say it is one sweet shooter.tiger maple laminations with phenolic riser and tiger maple accent strips. Enjoy! the second bow is a 56 inch 50 pound Bobcat with the much-anticipated static limbs.I shot it yesterday too and all I can say is wow! This bow is smoking fast!hopefully Colin can get pictures posted but chronograph readings were regularly between 219 and  223, also with the 360 grain arrow. honestly the bow is almost dead silent with no strings silencers at all installed and very very smooth for a 56 inch bow. I was so impressed with the bow I am in the process of selling my favorite short bow so that I can put one on order. I should also mention I was amazed how quickly I was able to stack arrows with it. The bow shoots exactly where you look and shot two different arrow combinations that were quite a bit different very well. who knows this bow could make a recurve man out of me! Ceme 24 will post pics of the Bows so please save comments until after he gets the pictures up should only be a few minutes.

Here are the pics.  Great stuff here.









This long riser Wildcat just looks awesome

Here is the static tip 56" Bobcat

Beautiful!  That Wildcat reminds me of the all-black glass Habu I had and sold.  Bet that one is a dream to shoot!

Really like the profile of those bows, I bet they are great shooters.

Thanks for posting those Colin.  That Bobcat looks like it's is named right....short and fast.

Matt, I never saw your bow finished. That thing looks SWEET. I heard you were STACKIN with it in no time!!

Yeah, a set of the Static tips is my next fix!!

I really like that long riser. Should give plenty of mass and make it so stable. Hmmmmmm makes you think of building a new bow... So many options!!

Just a reminder that hill country bows will b at the bowhunting super show in columbus next weekendmarch 21st and 22nd.he will have the static tips and I will bring the long riser wildcat as well we will have an area where you can shoot so come out and find your next true love!

I am liking my new K-2 more everyday, thanks Roman.  

How long of a wait for one of these bows?

Doug

Depends on what you want really. He has some bows in stock right now but if you want it custom made to you I believe lead time right now is about six months give or take. give roman a shout and he can give you a better idea. Well worth the wait. Romans number Iis 3306749609

i have a bob cat with long bow limbs, a 2nd set of recurve limbs and now a set of static recurve limbs on order!

Here is Team Fudd's handiwork with the long Wildcat at 20 yards.  Great stuff!

I cant do that every day but the bow sure is capable of it!

We have so many talented bowyers out there it just blows me away at the choices out there.
