I've been away a few days. Has Ben Maher been on yet, and piped-up with tales of his latest adventures?

Ben anyone whose heart beat isn't quickened at least a little after looking at your bow needs to go see their doctor because something is most definitely wrong with them...lol

Thank you for sharing!

God bless,Mudd

Ben's bow is definitely a beauty. Hill owners love the elegant simplicity of their bows. We don't need 37 laminations of rainbow colors in our risers with zig-zags,swirls and overlays. Pup

Can anybody give a short list of pros and cons of HH bow length?  I ordered a 65#@27" Cheetah at 68" long.  Craig's starting on it this week and I was wondering if dropping the length down to 66" would cause a noticable difference in performance. (ie. stack, loss of velocity.) Or at my draw length, would it even make a difference?

Thanks!!

Jesse, I draw 28" plus maybe just a fraction more.  I do not order less than 68" Hills,  but if a great one comes along at a good price (that is left handed) and it's 66" I don't let that be a deal breaker.  I don't really see any cons to longer lengths unless you shoot out of a pop-up.  They are extremely nice and smooth.  My 66" bows don't stack at my draw but the longer ones feel just a smidge (technical term there) smoother on the draw......Dave

I draw 26.5" and 68 is too long...more handshock, and lower performance! You have to decide what is more important to you - smoother draw (68) or better cast (66). Ideally you should have Craig make it 67" if you have a true 27" draw, and he will if you ask! If you go with the string follow profile, then 66" would be better!
