Hey Iam not knocking them, I shoot Wes Wallace and Fox and BW longbows and they have a little more reflex, deflex than the Hill's. I shoot at least 57-58 # and those D style bows can kick no matter how you hold them, but they are quiet and accurate.
Id like to get a lighter longbow for stumpin and chasing small game, I will have to look at the Black Bear!!
Howard Hill was the man for sure
