who make a good hill style bow.  please post pics if you have them?

Take a look in the sponsor classsified. Lot of good Bowyers out there. But check out Apex Predator bows.

John McDonald "Big River" bows:

Northern Mist

just get a Hill,go original!  

Yep...Hill's and Northern Mist are nice too but at least for me there is just something special about the Big Rivers.

I'm pretty fond of Northern Mist

thanks alot guys

All the ones mentioned plus Sunset Hill, David Miller, Steve Shultz, Dan Toelke, Jim Belcher, Jay St. Charles, and Alan Boice to name a few more. Lot's of others that are no longer in production as well which you can find used from time to time.

i have owned numerous , and still do , Hill style bows including a new Jim Belcher " Union Jack " with all yew lams [ i'll post opics over the coming days .....
to me the best are in no particular order... Miller string follow " ol' Tom " .
Howard Hill .
Liberty English
these companies/bowyers have , i believe provided the best service , reasonable prices and good turn around build time .  
i have handled and shot the Northern Mist and they too were great bows . but for all round bang for the buck service and shootability etc call Craig at Howard Hill or Dave Miller at Miller longbows .
pm me with any queries

Uh, Hill style?  Howard Hill Archery! Great bows, excellent workmanship, great service and VERY quick delivery time. What's not to like?

The Liberty "English" model I owned was a nice bow but I never considered it a Hill style in terms of design. One example the difference in the risers.

For a Hill style bow, my first stop would be Howard Hill Archery (  http://www.howardhillarchery.com/  ).  The price is right, the product is outstanding and Craig is a delight to work with.

Turns out they are deadly to groundhogs (also deer and rabbits, from my observations):


:D

I have heard good things about Mahantango bows (spell?) too. The bowyer is local for me so I plan to try and shoot a few this summer.
For personal experience, I recently got two Hills and a John Strunk. They are all great but I seem to prefer my plain jane Hill and Strunk over my Hill that has antler tips.

Can't go wrong with a Howard Hill, but if you want to try different bowyers, Nate Steen at Sunset Hill is really good. I've heard nothing but great things about Dave Miller, but haven't had a chance to try one of his bows yet. For used, no longer in production bows, find a Bighorn by Ron Maulding, especially a "Tamarack" model. For rarity, a bow by John Sherman is a great performer and pretty scarce. And probably the least known bowyer of Hill-style bows I've come across is a newcomer out of Kentucky, David Underwood.

Toelke "Super" D,  not "shocky", well behaved, perfect fit/finish etc..

All good recommendations. I forgot one from my personal list, Wallace Mountain. I had one and traded it off due to the light draw weight. Beautiful work and a real gem to shoot.
