HH bug got me ... Part One!

Okie man · June 22, 2011, 07:02:00 PM

I'm waiting on my Sunset Hill from Nate. But I hear he is shooting over bears up in Idaho. While you ruminate over what caused you to miss that nice bear, why not keep your hands busy on one of your White Dragon style longbows destined to be delivered down here in Oklahoma? Just kiddin. Enjoy your hunting and get to mine whenever you can.
Also, S&S where did you ever find someone that would trade away a Sunset Hill? I have been watching the classifieds for years and have only seen 1 and wasn't fast enough to get it.

My mistake!

Hey Hillgang,

I picked up another book for my collection, Indirect Aiming for Bowhunting by Bob Wesley.
I have Bob's video from years ago, but the book has been out of print.

what is indirect aiming???

K. Mogensen · June 22, 2011, 10:49:00 PM

I believe it's another way of saying instinctive shooting...

dragonheart · June 22, 2011, 11:26:00 PM

Not really. If you watch Bob Wesley's DVD and his method is not instinctive.

dragonheart · June 22, 2011, 11:26:00 PM

It is effective!!!

MT Longbow · June 22, 2011, 11:29:00 PM

I just ordered the DVD from HH archery but I still want the book.

Well I have been looking for one, found one and fianally made the trade. It was on another site. It may or may not work due to the #. We will see. It may be going to its birthplace in Idaho if she is just too fat and needs some lypo-limb-reduction!

Congratulations dragonheart! I hope it fits you as is. I've been anxious ever since Nate called me and said he was ready to start on mine. I wasn't smart enough to ask how much longer and don't want to bother him and appear over anxious.

Okie man,

Excitement is good. Waiting is challenging. I have been there!

God bless,Mudd

Not to change the subject again, but lately there have been some really nice Hill's in the classifieds that haven't sold quickly. One was a Badger that I can't believe was never sold. Guess everyone out there is poor like me.

Rik · June 23, 2011, 05:44:00 PM

oops, rik - please no posting of anything that could/should be construed as classifieds material! thanx for your understanding!

RC · June 23, 2011, 06:19:00 PM

For me the Badger though a fine bow it may be is not a "Hill" bow..RC

ChrisM · June 23, 2011, 06:47:00 PM

I looked at that Badger and it looks good but my next Hill will be ordered just the way I want it. I am will to pay more to get it just the way I want it. I had a Black Walnut tree get blown down during a severe storm 2 days ago I am thinking about getting some of the wood for a riser.

It's made by Hill so it's a Hill in my opinion. True it is not a D-shaped Hill-style, but a Hill nonetheless.

In "Shooting the Stickbow" 2nd edition, by Anthony Camera there is a picture on page 250 showing Howard himself shooting an R/D bow in the late 60s. Much longer than the Badger, but it is certainly a reflex/deflex. Part of Howard's evolution as he aged and grew as an archer I guess. If he shot one maybe we should, too.

"Shooting the Stickbow" is chock full of great info. Again that's just my opinion.

I have been a little crazy on the BUY spree lately. I think I will be selling a couple. The trouble is, I like them all...
