HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Dallas]

I just traded for a Big 5 that is all bamboo with clear glass and what appears to be cocobolo riser.  The bow is 66" and 55#@25".  At my 26.5" draw I'm slightly overbowed, but daily shooting is getting me up there.  The bow is a great shooter and one that I had been trying to get for 2 years since I brought it back from AZ for a friend who bought it on line.

Congrats two4hooking can't wait to get a harvest with a hil style bow. Been shooting my new shrewhill and after a little getting use to the difference it's shooting great and whisper quiet, boy am I happy! Have brace height at 6.25" and two homemade string silencers from wool. Thanks too Rock n' Bow we met up on Thursday at the local range and shot some hill bows. Helped me set up and taught me to use the behind the leg method to string her up. Just got that method of stringing down but for 10 times or so I used my selway stringer. After the last time using it I noticed that the limb was lighter in color. My question to you guys is could I have damaged the bow using a stringer? The picture is not the best sorry.


Btw switched to a snap shooting method or release when I hit draw for the hill bow and am grouping nicely!

if it was one of those saddle types, I cannot imagine that could cause any damage to the limb.  I would fear the over the leg method more, I always use the push pull myself.   Could the light area be finish getting buffed a bit.

[two4hooking]

Agree with paven.  Step through is riskier to the bow.  Learn the push pull method.

[7 Lakes]

If it has become cloudy under the glass it may well be delaminating.  Mark the edges of the light spot and make sure it isn't growing.

[Linwood Hines]

I've always used a stringer.  Have never seen the push-pull method - can someone direct me to instructions?

Well it's been a few weeks now that I've had my John Shultz "Granpa" all wood longbow. It is absolutely a joy to shoot and what a shooter it is with it's string follow geometry. I love my Northern Mist Shelton string follow, however the Shultz is a little more fun to shoot and I'm still extremely impressed for it's shooting qualities for such a physically light bow. Very well behaved in the hand even though it's light as a feather. It's spitting 11 grain per pound arrows out surprisingly flat for string follow all wood design. I can see why John said he hung up his glass bows for these at the end of his bow building career.  

Now I have to decide whether to put limb socks on this bow or paste wax to dull it down for some late season hunting. John has a high gloss finish on these bows and I'm pretty picky about low glare finish for my hunting weapons.

What about some pomice powder and veg oil. Just rub it down good. Wont hurt finish just remove the shine.

[Ray Lyon]

Thanks Jack. What kind of store will I find pomice powder in???
