Hey all,

I really like seeing pics of nice bows.  Lately I have been reading up on Hill bows and thinking of maybe trying to get one later this year.  With that in mind, if anyone has any pics of Howard Hill bows how about posting them.  The official Hill website isn't very good if you want to see the bows and all the different types.  They really need a new site.

Don't forget the Badger longbow....I would like to see pics of that one too.
If ya got Hill bow pics I sure would like to see them.

Thanks for your time and hopefully your pictures.

Here she is, a 66", 70lb @ 29" Redman, together with laminated birch arrows (from Paul Jalon) wearing 190 grain Ribteks:


Practice, practice, practice:


An action shot from the Gascoyne River in Western Australia (the arrow is still in the air having just exited the goat):


And the end result, a really nice feral billy goat:


I like mine.

And here's a few more pictures.

Practice:


Wearing a Thunderhorn bow-quiver (the red-crested arrows are cedar made by Jason Ekins of Howard Hill Archery):


Another with the quiver attached:


And the end of a successful practice session with my brother and his Martin Hunter:

Here are a few of mine... 48# Big 5   ebony riser, laced grip, black glass, gloss finish. 50# Wesley Special, ebony riser, black glass, gloss finish   55# Big 5, Myrtle (?) riser, black glass, satin finish.  

The clear glass is beautiful, too, but these are what I shoot now.

Reading from the Longbow Guarantee that Craig sends with each bow, says, The conventional model
70" longbow should be braced at 6 1/2 fistmele
(+/- 1 1/8").For shorter bows, the brace height should be reduced by 1/8 for every 2" of bow length( i.e., a 66" bow should have a brace height of 6 1/4")
If a man that is not perfect be ever in practice, he shall as well
practice his errors as his abilities and induce one habit of both; and there is no means to help this but by intermission - Francis bacon

Yeah, 7 3/4" for a strait limbed bow is way to high.

those numbers are for curves or heavy R/D models

My 68" Redman is braced at 6 1/4", my 64" Cheetah at 6 1/8"
