New Reverse Riser ASL

[Hatrick]

This is one I just finished. I know that many feel the reverse riser is either ugly or just doesn't look "right." I've done several with this type riser. That is, with the extended wood section at the sight window. I'd like some good old honest opinions as to whether you like the riser section  or not. Last pic shows what I mean.

This one is action bamboo core with bacote veneers on the back and green glass on the belly. Bacote riser with some brown/black phenolic stripes. Tip wedges are red phenolic. 66" and hit my weight at 48# @ 28".

[MikeNova]

I do like it.

[AZ_Longbow]

Great work, its a beauty. I like that taper in the riser.

I'm not a Hill style bow fan, but honestly have to say that is the most beautiful one i've seen!  And I don't make it a habit of saying that.  

You know the guy that no matter what it is he's always saying "that's the best hot dog i've ever ate!" or that's the best i've ever been to" well that's not me i'm more likely to tell you, you miss a spot    :rolleyes:    

Great Job!

She's a beauty. I've never shot a reverse handle Hill style.

The bow finish and limb lines a beautiful. Love the brown color. Two things in my opinion only I would want different. First, in ASL longbows I like simple one piece risers instead of accent stripe. Two, I prefer the clean line of the back of the upper glass limb melting into the handle like it does on the lower limb instead of stopping an inch or so short to create the sight window.  I love the way your handle is full like my Berry Northstar.
As I said those are just my personal preferences and you have an overall beautiful looking bow. The real proof is how it shoots because that's the real beauty of ASL's

[Tater]

Very nice work. I can honestly say I like everything about the bow, especially wood choices...  

[beendare]

Its a beauty, great craftsmanship...but to me its about performance and feel first. Is it a teeth rattler?

[Sam McMichael]

Very pretty bow. I am a bit upset with all you guys who keep showing these beautiful forward handle bows. For years, I never paid attention to them. Now I am envious and want one real bad.

"IF" I was to buy another Hill "ASL" it will be a forward handle....
  Nice looking bow....

[CoachBGriff]

Wow!  

That is a beaut...

I'm also not a big fan of the d-shaped longbows, but I do like the reverse risers.

[frank bullitt]

Love it!    

Great work, Hatrick!

[dnovo]

I think you have a beautiful bow. Very nice. I've shot several reverse handle bows and they all shot great. For myself, however I can't get past thinking it looks like it's strung backwards

[MikeNova]

I would agree w ray. I woukd like to see the back glass o.
n the top limb melt Into the riser.  That is still asa really nice bow.

[Friend]

Quite appealing...fine work...congrats!

[iohkus]

Beautiful bow. I have never shot a reverse handle ASL, but have owned a Zebra Grevy with which I tagged my first deer. Is yours a limb follow?

[KAZ]

That bow is absolutely stunning! Well done
