RC, I especially love the looks of that Cheetah. I believe that may be my next Hill bow. Thanks for sharing the great pics.  

[Benny Nganabbarru]

The lengths RC will go to when he runs out of arrows! Fair-dinkum! It looks far too stiff and lacking in much FOC balance, but I'm sure it blows the game away!

One of these days I'm going to have to get for a walking stick so I can get up the hills.      Actually, I would like to give one a try.

[bradley]

  :eek:   WOW!  That bow sure takes a heavy arrow!

Craig at Howard Hill Archery has to be a master bowfisherman(of HH lovers)...lol because I'm now on hook for one of the "Robin Hood Specials" 68" 48@28.

Or maybe ole PT Barnum was right if he was the one who said "There's a sucker born every minute!"...lol

Missouri is famous for it's suckers...ie On Sucker Day in Nixa, Missouri, school closes officially and the little town swells to a throng of 15,000 hungry folks. All craving a taste of the much maligned but delicious bottom dweller fish loathed by almost everyone else.

They make a small target but man! are they tasty!

Oh but I digress.. back on track. I can't wait to get my hands on my new "Robin Hood" Hill.

God bless,Mudd

Good for you Mudd.  That Robin Hood commemorative bow is pretty sweet.  Especially the "string follow" or "deflexed" limbs....bet it'll be a real shooter.

[Irish Archer]

Mudd,

What number did you get? Just wondering how many are left? I'm just not sure about that glossy finish. I like that satin finish much better.

Never have liked a gloss finish on a bow or gun. Satin is just better for hunting, in my mind at least. And from the ground......well, you get where I'm going. Beautiful bow though!

[Mudd]

Number 21 I.A.

I am planning on asking if I can has something less than high gloss finish on mine.

I figure Craig doesn't have to say "No!" if I don't ask....lol

God bless,Mudd

[straitera]

My Hill good deed; Talked Jesse from selling his straight handled 75#er. What a beaut! He thanked me. Get used to that straight handle & it's all over. Need some pix pdq Muddster.

[Dick in Seattle]

The finish on the Robin Hood is supposed to be a bit different, again looking to appear a little "older"...   Craig describes it as "between the old satin and the modern gloss finish".    Several of us have inquired about changes and there are none...  a limited edition means they are all the same in appearance.

This one is sure selling fast.  I've been talking with Craig on this and on another project of my own and about a week and a half back he was closing in on half gone.   I think the Longbowmen snapped up six in the first two days.

Can't wait for my Robin Hood, LH 68" 45#@28. Hopefully have it by the end of Jan. Reading this thread really makes me anxious.

They're gonna be sweet for sure fellas. Post us some pics when you get'em.

When did you order yours Mudd?

[Mudd]

I.A..."When did you order yours Mudd?"

You have to be kidding...lol

All I can tell you is that I've slept since I placed my order...lol

I should keep better records on stuff like this since I already know I have such a poor memory.

About all I try to keep real records on is, who I owe and how much...lol

God bless,Mudd

[KPaul]

Got a Redman coming.Can't wait to go for a walk in the woods with it.

[Wannabe1]

I'm not against limited addition things but, I always like to do something unique to my bow that no one else has. I.E. a unique name on the lower limb. Anyway, I have a new Tembo on order to pass on to my son when he gets older. I think ya'll will like it!  

[Mudd]

Fellas please don't think for a minute that just because this is a limited edition that it won't be making it to the woods.

It could be that I don't deserve to have such a collectible but collecting isn't something I do just for the sake of collecting.

Maybe I'll just let someone else have number 21 and I'll get something different.

God bless,Mudd

[David Mitchell]

Mudd, I'm with you--no point in owning a bow you don't want to take in the woods which is where all good bows belong.

[Mudd]

I had a talk with Craig about an hour ago and this one will be going to the woods and it won't be shiny.

Wahoo!!!

I am well pleased!

God bless,Mudd
