Jerry Hill Longbow

[schnmbang]

Anyone shoot a Jerry Hill longbow? I have two Howard hill longbows but I have the chance to get one for $200 wondering if they are worth it

Sounds like they are well-liked over on Trad Archery.

and it sounds like they are not for the 45lb bench press set either.

What's the draw and model of the one you are looking at?

Nice looking pictures on Trad Archery of those.

Are they still made?

I need a stronger longbow but I can't decide where to get it from.

I don't believe they are still made I read somewhere that he stopped making them years ago

Check out Jet Archery http://www.jetarchery.com/home.html The guy makes some nice Hill style bows and studied bows that Howard Hill made. His bows are light and perform very well. I picked up a bow at the Baltimore Bowmen show last year. It is made of yew and at 54#, it is not too much but still gives quite a bit of speed over my usual 45# longbow.

They look good but I don't think I could shoot a bow without a shelf very well.

It may not be apparent, but the bows do have shelves.
