TTT Just not right at all to be on the second page.

Stumbled on this thread accidentally.  Not sure how I missed it, but this youtube video is definitely worth watching in its entirety.  

Incredible early footage of Art Young and cameraman Jack Robertson hunting/filming big game in Alaska 1922-1923.  There's no sound, but you don't need it.  The film speaks for itself.  These early American archers were some rugged guys.  Can you imagine being there?  A trip of dreams.

Come on where are all you Hill guys at, hate to see this thread come to an end and Nate where are you at, I still need help with my shooting and all of your advice really works, come on Nate get back on here.

I think everyone has been focused on the threads about the Eastern Sports and Outdoor show being cancelled.

Man I can't wait for the weather to warm back up a bit so I can get back out and shoot my Hill style bows.

[ArrowPlane]

Just ordered my first Hill!  My first custom of any kind, actually.  I figured a Hill was appropriate as a first.  Been drooling over them since I started shooting...

Bighorn Sheep, string follow
Texas ebony riser, clear glass
Finished handle (no wrap)
70", 50#@28"

Super stoked.  I've never seen a Bighorn Sheep (4x red elm lams) before.  I asked about it and was told they've made a few, but not many  

It's going to be a long 4-5 weeks!

ArrowPlane-

Knowing Craig, you'll probably get the bow in 3 weeks.

I've never seen or shot a Hill bow without the leather grip. I'm interested in hearing how you like the no wrap grip.

BTW-
I've changed my grip several times. I go to Tandy leather, they usually have a bunch of leather pieces in boxes, most of the time they just give it to you. I've found that I like the thin Hill grip with a thick piece of leather. It fit's my palm perfectly.

[ArrowPlane]

I ordered it with no grip for that reason.  I want to try it out, and I'd rather do my own anyway.  I make my own quivers and such, so I can put a grip on the match the quiver.

I bet it'll look really sharp without the wrap though.

[Mushin]

What do you guys think of the Tembo compared to Big 5,etc.? Is 72"to long its mainly for 3D.I have a 30" draw.

Just thought id share my experience on the grip, no grip topic. I bought this Hill style Silver Hawk which was a left handed bow, now turned it into a righty or lefty. Needless to say, in order to do it proper, i had to strip and refinish the whole bow. After the transformation, I tried it without the leather grip, and fell in love with the feel of the wood in my hand! I think that for some bows it feels right, and others, not so much.
Congrats on your new Hill, leather or no leather, your gonna love it!  [/url] [/IMG]

Arrowplane,

That sounds like an awesome bow, I am looking forward to pics and a write up of how she shoots!

Moleman, I really like your posts.  Your pics are great too!

Bob.

[Nate Steen .]

Bob...any new info?

Rod...everyone must be snugged down in their caves or maybe I talked too much for my own good

[Rossco7002]

I've been slack too. Picked up a Schulz with brown glass and a gorgeous stringfollow Old Tom in the past few weeks but haven't had the time to post picks.... Hopefully rectify that this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the Big Horn Sheep too!

[Mike Mongelli]

Nate, I'd love to hear more.

Rossco, Let's see um!

I'll have some pics of my own to post up in 4-5 weeks...
