I recently acquired three straight limb Hill style longbows. Two of them are Hill Wesley Specials that are 68" long. The other is a John Strunk that is 69". I draw 30" and have taken a shine to the Strunk. The handle doesn't fit me as well as the slightly dished Hill but it is smooth and quiet.

I draw a bit over 28" and prefer 68-70"ers in Hill bows.  The Hill style is a  true  LONGbow, lots of fun to shoot.

Someting about a Hill bow under 66" in length that concerns me. I draw about 1/4 inch short of 28" consistently. I own two 66" Hill's and another at 68". They are smooth as silk and if I hold the bow correctly I notice no hand shock. I've always been told that the longer length is important when shooting any Hill style bow. I would love to shoot a 64" Hill for comparison but to date I've never seen one up close and personal and I'm also not willing to order a new one for comparison sake. Good luck in your quest. Craig makes a great bow that is a bargain in todays market.

My first bow was a
"HILL" Someone lifted it from me so I don't have it anymore ... Still hunting for it after 40 plus years  :(
