My favorite shooter is a 1968 Shultz made Tembo that has only 2 lams of bamboo.  I have many Hills including a couple of 5 lam Wesley Specials.  I agree with many of the posts here.  I think the shooting characteristics are bow specific.

I have three Wesleys (5 Lams) a Big Five (4 Lams) two Schulz, one with 3 lams of yew and the other with 4 lams of bamboo.  All shoot very smooth, but just last week in a trade, I got a Hill Redman, 3 lams of yew - 68" - 65@28. It's the smoothest of all of them.  I REALLY like it. And the cast is very fast. Sweet shooter.

Guess they're just like us, individuals.

So from the posts I've been seeing is it safe to say  that you choose the HH bow based on what looks good to you?  It sounds to me like folks that have shot them pretty much like all of them.

For instance I was flirting with buying either a Big 5, a Redman, or a Halfbreed (yew outside and bamboo in) and now you guys have me thinking maybe Tembo.   Other than looks and number of lams would I expect one of those to be faster, smoother, more forgiving, etc. than the others?

The difference in speed between my Wesley and Tembo is not even detectable by the naked eye. Pick your bow by the look that does it for ya and you'll be a happy Hill guy for life!!
