HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Overspined]

Woodslinger, you really should read the first Hill bug thread 900+ pages.  Lots there to answer questions in the first 1/2...

Feel free to ask more specific questions and there are many happy to try to help. Grip can be a huge part of these bows.

Hey guys I have recently just reacquired an older model Big 5 that draws 60#'s @ 28". My dad drew 29.5" and had great luck with the old xx75 2117. I draw 27.5" and need a starting point for some shafts to try out at my draw. Wood is preferred but aluminum or carbon will also work.

I am a dyed in the wool recurve man and this will be first experience with a long bow so please pass on any shooting advice also.

Thanks

You could make the 2117 work easily, but you will have to keep them a little long .
I would choose a 2018 if i were choosing an alum for that bow

My buddy the mailman dropped off a package from HHA today and had me doing the happy dance. Luckily for you all I didn't film that but I did snap a few pics of my BRAND NEW REDMAN! Yeah baby!

Chechen riser & tip overlays, moose leather grip wrap, and yew limbs. 68" 50#@28". The grip is deep and wide for my freakish big hands. 2 1/8" deep to be exact and - 1/8" dish. Thanks Craig ya nailed it!

That bow is dead gorgeous! And to make it even better the shelf is on the correct side of the bow.     I love my Redman.

Anybody have any good pictures of a HH wapiti? I think there is only one I could find in Part one. Thanks for the help!

[katman]

Ha, David my pics must be reversed the shelf is on wrong side.
A real beauty you got there Paul.

[slayer1]

Wow that redman is awesome. How does it shoot. I have one ordered same specs except all bocote. What kind of arrows are going to shoot out of it?

[MT Longbow]

Slayer1, I had the Wapity. I sold it.  I had a bunch of pics in part 1 of it.

Search for my posts you will find it.  It was beautiful !

Got the privelege of shooting Centex's new Half Breed yesterday.  What a great looker and performer!  Bill ordered this bow as a tribute to his Red Healer "Sol" who passed away recently.  The woods used throughout this bow mimic the colors of Sol's coat.  Just beautiful.....Craig really nailed it.

Question about a Hill Grip.
   If you order a bow and don't specify grip style, What would the stock grip be like....

[Tradcat]

I have the same question as Mike G...?

Undefined.    

[David Mitchell]

I can't imagine Craig would not ask about grip style along with other questions about the bow you desire.

[centaur]

I'm with David, Craig would have that as a normal question when you would order.

I got me new puter.  The last blank I ordered, the predicted grip was even built into that.  There are some variations on the stock bows, one should ask about the grip on those before buying.  They will be able to reduce those if needed.
