Good points are:

Very Stable Bow
Accurate
Forgiving
Light in Field and Hand

Bad Points:

Kicks like a mule (don't want to argue the point :-), it's just my opinion)

Yep, If you don't like hand shock, stay away. However, after awhile you don't really notice.  You get used to it. I love the feeling of a HH bow.

Oh, keep your teeth clenched!

Lol - I hate that myth.  It's only true IF you fail to hold the bow correctly.          

Switching from a recurve, I was in that boat for a couple of months and my Hill kicked the nation out of me but once I figured out how to hold the silly thing - nada. [/b]

Well, what is myth for one could be reality for another.      
One reason I don't alway like to like to state my opinion on the topic and go against the norm.
People are very easy to judge without knowing or asking the other persons extent or experience. Afterall this is cyberspace.

[GingivitisKahn]

Lol - nothing personal.  You are certainly welcome to your opinions and I hope you don't mind if I refute that one.

If that is the extent of the differences between you and me, we are practically twins.    :D

Ben,
You always post the best pics.

[Ben Maher]

Northern Ben ....
was waiting for you to chime in ...

[Shinken]

Great lookin' Wesley Ben - I like the contrast between the handle riser and the limbs!

Excellent shootin'!

Shoot straight, Shinken

[DannyBows]

Excellent pics Ben! The Hills just look "Right" in all of them.  

[Dick in Seattle]

Ben... thanks, indeed!   Great pictures.  Sure wish I could get down there to hunt hogs and goats, but I couldn't stand up to the trip or the hunting.  I surely do enjoy watching other folks results, though.

[longbowben]

Real nice pictures.Im not allowed to look at it untill X-MASS im going to have problems.

[Steve Clandinin]

I feel the same as Dick,thanks ever so much Ben for the great pics.

[cacciatore]

WOW,I would like to buy a Wensley Special just to follow Ben.

[GingivitisKahn]

Ooh - here's my new favorite Hill (Halfbreed) photo...

[MJB]

Jim,
Great pic  

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Yep, Jim, that is a classic photo!

[Rik]

Uh Oh, I really really should not have looked at Ben's pictures. The Australia bug I caught a few years back in the swamps has fired up again. Now I'm gonna have to start making arrows, saving money, deciding which Hill bow to take, and begin planning all over again. Dang Aussies anyway. Always causing trouble. . .

Not sure if I should take my new Sunset Hill bow back to Oz again or not. It has somehow acquired a large splash of mule deer blood on the handle leather and no longer looks new and shiny.
