Howard Hill Style Hickory
« on: December 28, 2011, 07:13:02 pm »
Tried to keep this one narrow and with a deep grip to imitate what I would consider a Howard Hill style longbow. It's 68" long and 34#@28". Handle is 4" long, 7/8" wide, and 1.75" deep, with 3" fades. 1.25" to 12" from the fades where it tapers to 3/8" tips. Holds 2.5" of reflex after heat treating. Has bone nock overlays. Sorry about the poor pictures as they were taken on my phone. Thanks for looking.
