A little walking with Howard this morning

Bud, does me good to see that bow in her natural element!

Thanks for the pictures from time to time.

I've gotten a grip pattern worn in the suede wrap already. At least my grip seems consistent! Haa!

Lovin' the bow Dave.

David, Is Bud's bow one of your lost children?

It is a pretty thing!

Can you all believe how many other Hill bow threads this one has inspired??! I like this site more and more, so many enjoyable discussions about Hill style bows (yes biased). Catching up weekly is a nice read.

David Mitchell · February 17, 2012, 08:16:00 PM

Yes, Tony, one of my "lost children". Bud is giving her the care and attention she was not receiving from me--so she wanted a new home. A bit heavy on the draw for this aging archer. :(

Yeah Matt, it is very cool! A year of this and I find myself sucked deep into the tradition (hah...biased too...but not a snob.

Bud B. · February 17, 2012, 08:27:00 PM

Dave,

If one of its siblings gets lonesome let me know....(hint, hint).

Bud, you are a lucky lefty! Just hang out with David long enough and he'll adopt you.

He has a bunch of dandy hills....and he ain't getting any younger...lol

(neither am I) "[dntthnk]"

David Mitchell · February 17, 2012, 09:05:00 PM

Bud, funny you should ask...see what I just posted on the classified!

WESTBROOK · February 17, 2012, 09:21:00 PM

I saw that David... about 10 minutes after I finished watching "Hittin'em Like Howard Hill". Is that sign or what :eek: ...you take VISA

Hey, Tony, you could always switch--not too hard. I did several, years ago. It's probably a good thing, too, or I would be even more bow poor than I already am--too many right handed bows on the classifieds. :rolleyes:

Ross, looking forward to seeing your Cheetah - still dragging my heels on getting one myself.

Bud B. · February 18, 2012, 08:44:00 AM

Timing is off on the Tembo for me Dave, but keep me in mind!!

Maybe some photos of it on this thread for the history of a Hill bow and the history of this thread?!

It is N-I-C-E!

David Mitchell · February 18, 2012, 09:38:00 AM

OK, Bud, here are some pics of a 40+ year-old Hill that still shoots right there with the current crop. Built by John Schulz in the classic black glass back and white belly common at the time, and seemingly making a come-back.

Shinken · February 18, 2012, 12:53:00 PM

Thanks for sharin' the photos of your Schulz-Hill with us David!

A very handsome Hill bow for sure!

Shoot straight, Shinken

"Aged Ivory"... that's a color that speaks to me.

I agree that your bow is a beauty David.

I know I've said it before but I can't wait to put my hand to "my buddy" bow.

God bless,Mudd
