HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Green]

Glad that she's gonna work out for you Chuck!

What is a legacy?  We hear a lot about legacies lately. Is it something that we collect? Is it a history of achievement? Is it a young, or young at heart, archer sneaking around the in the brush and the woods having a hunting adventure with an old longbow?  I feel that the greatest part of the Howard Hill legacy is how he continues to inspire archers to go out and have adventures with longbows.  WE remember Hill for what he did, gotta give congrats to Sam for honoring the Hill legacy in a style that Hill would approve.

What weight arrow you Hill guys like for hunting. Post up your draw weight and arrow weight.

[lbshooter]

I like 10-11x my draw weight with my 50-55# bows.  I use 140-145gr heads on my POC arrows.

[Vesty]

I'm sure this is the place to get my answer. Have you ever seen a Baraga with the straight grip rather than the locator? Just curious. I prefer straight grips.

[Green]

Sitka Spruce, POC, Doug Fir, Ash......my gpp ranges from 11.2 up to 13.7 using these woods from my 48-49# bows.

Thanks, maybe I'm not to heavy after all at 11.5 gpp ,puts me at 690 grains.!

Vesty, cant say I've seen a Baraga with a straight grip...but I'm sure Steve will build it.

I've got a Superior than I'm gonna turn into a straight with a slight dish.

[Ray Lyon]

575 grains from 57#@28 inch HH TEMBO . So right at ten grains per pound for me.

Congrats Brian.....that's a stunner!

Brian, I have an OE in the process, and you ain't helping with the wait.That glossy finish is awesome, but I fear it would scare critters into the next county, so I have to keep a matte finish on all my bows
While waiting for my bow to come, I will suffer in the meantime with shooting my current Morningstar. Dings and all, it still is the best shooting bow I have ever owned, and the one to come just promises to be even better.

[Tater]

Brian,
I posted on pow-wow but let me say again what a great looking bow...!

 I also received a new to me bow yesterday, I did a trade with Danny (RicO'shay). I am sure most of you have seen this bow before but it is the nicest Hill bow I have owned, and want to thank Danny for trading.

 Here are a couple of pictures (couldn't help myself!)

That is an outstanding tembo. The 3 lam from HHA Is my favorite from his shop, although I prefer non bamboo

[ron w]

Good trade Pat.........  

[Green]

That's definitely one of the most beautiful Tembo's I've seen.  I'm sure it was tough for Danny to let that one out the door.  Congrats on your trade!

[Centex]

Is that a snakewood riser on the tembo?
