Mudd,this bow will be you !Maybe a new hat to match?LOL.

Good show, Mudd.     I'm hoping I'll be one of the early sets of pics up.  You can bet they'll be up the day it arrives!  I'm #4 and Craig said he started it last week.

Oh Ye of Little Faith,

Alright, Alright, you don't believe my little Sunset Hill got ruined with mule deer blood. I must add before we go any farther that I was totally innocent in this adventure.

Sure, I failed to kill a bull in elk season so my freezer was looking a bit empty, and sure, I hadn't killed anything since my return from Australia in July, but that was no reason for this bow to jump up and shoot a fat doe on the second day of the season.  

The only thing I could do after that was take a few photos (the ones with me in them are too ugly to look at), and when I put the bow beside the deer for a good Hill Bow Picture, I failed to notice the leather handle was laying right against the entrance wound (derned Ribteks anyway, they always make such a big hole.)

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words (how much are two pictures worth?)

great pic, Rik.  That is some beautiful and rugged country up there...

Nice shots, Ric.    What's that white accent line in your bow?

Rik,

That's a great success photo. Congrats!

Waiting on mine Wesley String Follow ,Im Hurting too guys we all got the Hill Bug.....Ron

can you choose to have string follow on HH bows?

Rik...
Giddyup !

Nice mate ... very nice !

What is the advantage of the string follow option?

Wow! What a great pic. I dream of hunting terrain like that.

Terrific shot ! Idaho is one beautiful state !

Increased smoothness of draw and a bit more forgiving, in essence, a "sweet shooter".(IMHO)

I've read Howard Hills' comment about string follow where Mr. Hill said a bow didn't start to become a sweet shooter until it developed at least a half inch of string follow.

Back when Robin roamed Sherwood Forrest they didn't have glass backed bows and any all wood bow will develop some string follow over time and use.

If you go to Craig's website he explains the reason he's building the "Robin Hood" special edition with a bit extra string follow.

God bless,Mudd

Ari,

I'm pretty sure that Craig will build any of the Hills with string follow.

Nice shooting Rik!

That is some BEAUTIFUL country right there!

Thank you for sharin' the photo.

Did you pack her out in out one trip with your Eberlestock X2?

Enjoy the feast!

Shoot straight, Shinken

All this hill talk is killing me, mine has been in shipping for 19 days now from australia .The post man is on my nauty list.  :(

Yes, he will.   There's some question as to how much. There apparently are, or have been, different string follow forms. I have had a couple that had string follow, but not a lot and one older one that did have quite a bit.   I think he must have built a new form for Robin Hood to get it back to the old greater degree of string follow.  I'll be interested to see when mine gets here.

I built my first bow with a lot of string follow.  It was a sweet shooter but i made some mistakes in material and it had good reason for it's name, "Slowpoke".   As I said though, a sweet shooter and I still take it down and give it an outing every now and then.  I'm in the process right now of rebuilding that form and hope to pull a new bow off of it in the next week or so.

I'd love to see what comes off your form Dick.

So I'll just say thank you in advance!..lol

Is that being too pushy?...lol

God bless,Mudd

Ben, I feel for you! Nothing more frustrating than waiting for something to arrive and it gets hung up in the mail system somewhere. I'm looking forward to my new Tembo being complete!
