I love your videos sir. Your positive and humble demeanor are something that we dont see very often anymore. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'm in Jeff Davis Co. as well, and I'm new to traditional bows (shot compounds off and on for years) so I'm trying to learn all that I can. Again thanks for taking time to share your experiences with us.
Thanks for sharing. One of my grandfathers, George Carter, is buried at Ten Mile Creek Baptist church cemetery near Baxley. He was the first sheriff of Appling county. 3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
MR.CARTER I A BOW HUNTER.I HAVE USED COMPOUNDS BUT I SURE ENJOY LISTENING TO YOU TALK ABOUT USING BOWS THAT YOU OR A FRIEND HAD MADE,IT JUST DOESNT GET ANY BETTER.GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE YEARS
You are so nice the bows are so beautiful I plan on getting one it will be my first time using one I like your stories about the bows really amazing may God bless you may you have a blessed day
Your doing an excellent job with your videos. They are very informative and love the Christian overview. Without God, none of this would be possible. God is good all the time. Keep them coming brother.
Another enjoyable video Robert! I couldn't help but laugh a little when you just tossed the bows in a pile. That's how Dan Quillian used to do it! lol. You really can't hurt them. Good luck this season and have fun!
Hi. More, more, more videos please! Love your vids and your approach to traditional. How you talk about it and the Lord. And "it's a fine bow... I mean a fine bow!" For me...hard to pic which ones of those I would want. Many. 3-5. The key is you... "enjoy shooting this style bow more than anything! Love that Howard Hill kinda classic bow. Northern mist. Can't wait till your next vid! Subscribed. 😉
I’m just making the change from compound back to longbow after 40 yrs… I really have enjoyed watching your videos and learning at your feet. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Christ in, Dan.
The guys making bows with Hatchet Dan were my buddies, I was not able to make that trip but will surely be at the next one and will try to make the horseshoe creek hunt. We all went out to Stewart this past week and it was good hunting, in new at still hunting the swamp but just follow what you and Dendy do. We all got to shoot at pigs, some us missed but that’s the way it goes, it was good practice. Matt actually shot 2 medium sized pigs with 1 arrow on the last hunt before coming home but we didn’t find the second one. It was his first pig kill hunting this way. It sure is fun picking through the swamp, with the water level being so low we were hunting right along the river. Thanks for the video, knowledge and genuine good fellowship. Glad your leg is healing up and you are getting back to it. Take care!
I just got around to watching this video while in my garage on this fine Sunday morning, cooking up a sausage n cheese omelet in an old cast iron skillet. There were deer feeding in my clover out back, and you were on my phone talking about the bows and the good Lord. I'm so glad there are people like you who openly give the Lord credit, and are unashamed of it. Just think how great this country could be if so many people hadn't decided to push God to the side in hopes of making a new and better way. That never works. I'm very excited to try the new recurve i just bought. Been using a compound since I was 12, I'm 42 now. Time for a switch in methods. I'll quit rambling now. Great videos. You seem to be a dang good man! God Bless ya!!
Dear robert, love your videos! You sre a wealth of knowledge. I admire your ethical approach to your hunting! And by the way you are a way better archer than you give yourself credit for. Sincerely yours don day.
Robert, my favorite bow is that Mohawk SparrowHawk. I am a sucker for that D shaped tiller. Speaking of D shapes, that knotty bow is incredible. When you unstrung it, it has no string follow. I am sad that I got rid of some bows that were special to me. I had a Bear "Whitetail" recurve (45/50#@28"/30"). Another neat recurve was a 50# fasco bow (it had a aggresive shape; very fast. I had a chance to buy a JK Chastain (used) recurve at Bob's Archery in Aurora, Co., back in the nineties for only 350, but money was so tight. I have made some decent osage orange self bows, but never killed a deer with one, just small game. I just bought a reflex deflex bow (52#@28" an "RD Bones" from Kramer Ammons of Shatterproof Archery. Beautiful bow, great guy...and this one I am keeping). Thanks for the "movie". You are an interesting guy with some great bows and awesome stories!!!
RC ! Glad to see you out and about with the Longbows still … back in the TGang days I’d watch for your posts all the time ! I’m still on the Hill style bows a lot too ! Ben Maher, Australia
RC , I also donated my prized and beloved 62" Sparrowhawk. Cocobolo and elm limbs. Like you something tugged on my heart to donate that bow to the St. Judes auction.
Hi from Ireland, this is only my 2nd video of yours I have seen, I will watch them all. You have a wonderful passion for archery, the woods where you live and most importantly Jesus, it's something I noticed that many American archers are Christians, anyway just wanted to say your a credit
Excellent video again. Looking forward to your persimmon videos. Having spent the majority of my 7 decades in the northern climate have no idea what a persimmon tree looks like. Now that we live in way southern Illinois they say there are persimmon trees around so need to learn about them.
What a pile of awesome bows! I have more bows now than I can hunt with and yet I was drooling at many of your bows. I have several self bows as well, I have made them all except for one which a great friend made and gave me. I shoot about 26" but my weight has dropped down to 45# or less. Have had a lot of health issues that have slowed me down but still shooting and hunting, just a lot closer to the road and mostly from the ground now. The Good Lord has blessed me with a great many things, more than I am worthy of and I am extremely thankful. I enjoy your videos very much, you are very down to earth, easy to understand your reasons. I also enjoy the fact that you Shine for our Lord, I have a shirt that is similar to yours as well. I love the sleekness and sheer beauty of the longbows and selfbows, much like you do and how they shoot. Hard to get any simpler than them. The persimmon riser is very awesome and for what it represents to you, a very cool thing indeed. While I am nowhere as bow poor as you are, I am very thankful for what I have. Have been fortunate to be able to pass some bows off to my son-n-law and two grandsons. The big thing that people like us have that so many today don't grasp is the memories of the woods and for you, the swamps. So many don't know the first thing about slipping along slowly and quietly with bow in hand. And so Robert, keep the videos coming, love them all.
@@robertcarte95 Well my Brother, you have several things going for you. First, you know Jesus, second, you are from the south (Arkansas here) third, you trad hunt, fourth, you are a very humble man. So what is not to like? You give praise to Him and you thank Him. You are pretty simple in your life, you know what the important things are, priorities. And you enjoy the Master pieces that our Creator has provided for us to see and utilize. You understand that the journey or experience is what is the most important but you highly appreciate the reward or harvest. I only wish that I could still walk good because I do miss those walk abouts with bow in hand. However, while I may now be a very short distance hunter, I still have those memories of so many blessings. You allow some of us to travel with you as you enjoy what the Master has provided for us to enjoy. I could easily see you teaching Sunday school as I do. Going to enjoy some good pulled pork later today, wish you could be here too. Jerry
I've been shooting bows now for 12 or 13 years. My first bow and favorite bow is my Mohawk that Vince built me. About 3 years ago I started shooting recurves and have really enjoyed them, but this past weekend I picked that Mohawk up for the first time in 3 years and shot it at the NGTA shoot. I shot better than I have in a very long time. It just feels right. It will be going in the woods with me again this season. Also, I've been wanting a Northern Mist bow for several years, and met Mr Turray at a State shoot a few years ago. I think You just talked me into getting one. Oh and one last thing, I shot a Sunset Hill bamboo backed bow several years ago, and to this day it was the best feeling bow I have ever shot. If I ever can locate the fellow that let me shoot it, I will try to buy it from him because he was willing to sell it to me back then. Anyway, I'm really enjoying your videos, keep 'em coming.
Brother, I enjoyed this more than any archery video I’ve seen in a long time, what a collection! Ps: I have an Osage Royalle by Chuck Jones if you ever want to try it , let me know. 50@28 RH
I too enjoy shooting the longbow but am still a novice when it comes to hunting with them. Just spent so many decades using the recurve for all aspects of archery that I’m still learning to shoot the longbow. Have mostly ASL’s, plus a few r/d short longbows which so far seem to shoot the best because of their slightly similar recurve type grip. But I really like the simplicity of the hill style, mainly my Sunset Hill. Have tried to contact Steve Turay thru his website but so far no response. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Beautiful Bows! I can hear the motivation in your voice, its gonna be a freezer filling year for ya! Excited for all the videos you will be making! Great advise on picking a bow that matches your shooting style.
I always liked the old howard hill longbows. They arent fast but they are the most forgiving bow you can get and i always shot them better. Only thing i dont like is the handshock. Right now im shooting a bear longbow. Same style hand grip, little bit of deflex, little bit of reflex, 28 at 60 pounds. No hand shock and it hits with authority.
I know what you mean, I use on recurve grip bows I am shooting the flat handle/notched handle longbow as close as you do for those and use the same aiming, then with my longbows/reflex deflex all with the notched grip I shoot like flat handle, and the same aiming style I do with all bows.
Robert, you and I have run similar paths the last 40 years (for me) shooting and hunting with longbows and self bows. I've got one of them northern mist Shelton bows, and it's a goodun. Don't know if I'll ever be able to shoot it anymore on account of a bad shoulder. Been shooting a 40 lb SK here lately. Glad to see you are a man that follows Jesus, as I do also.
For me it was the grip if it wasn't comfortable for my hand it's not for me , I've only been doing archery for a year. I don't own a longbow yet been checking out the Cottonmouth 2 by Merlinarchery, I like to own a bow by Great Plains one day & Havery Archery based in South Africa plus I like the Flatbow by Bickerstaffe.. The riser I choose was White feather Starling my other riser is red Lion by Ragim both ILF.
Thanks for the video. Been shooting stick bows for years. Even built quite a few glass bows but I’m gonna have to build an Osage bow soon. If you craft any more from an osage stave I would love to see a video of that. Thanks again!
I say we get a video on Daisy!!! I keep hearing you talk to her but I don’t know if I have gotten a good look at her. If she is in a video somewhere and you can point me to her that would be great , I’m a dog guy lol
Robert, tried several ways to ask you about a dog treeing a squirrel off the screen. I thought you called the dogs name and said, "she will show up in a minute". The dog appeared to be yellow. Anyway, I'm 79, never expected to live this long but got a heart rework last week of May. Know I'm good for another 2 litters of pups IF I CAN FIND A MALE BLK MOUTH CUR to breed my dog. I'm obviously grasping at straws to put my phone out there.
I don't know anyone with a male blackmouth. I actually got mine as a stroke of luck. I will ask around for you though. We have turned Daisy in to a house dog but when you hit the woods she lives to hunt.
Another great video . What are your thoughts on the Bear Montana long bow . I’ve never shot a long bow recurves and compounds but am interested in trying out a long bow . Thanks for all of the knowledge.
Robert I have to ask seeming how you have the same draw length as my wife and have experience. At your draw length, what is the preferred draw weight for hunting whitetail? Our state has a minimum of 35lb, but I can’t help but feel that this is to weak for her draw length. If you don’t mind, what would be your recommendation for minimum poundage and arrow setup you would take hunting? Thanks in advance.
Where should I start can you teach me the basics? What’s the cheap brand? What’s the mid price range? What is the top shelf? What # is the best for 30 - 40 yard range shot for trophy buck? How do you shoot it? Difference between compound and Long bow? (Typically I know that long bows the power is in the wrist in stead of the axel on a compound). Thank you 😊
A 50 lb longbow will take deer as far as you can hit him. Only problem is the deer won't be in the same place when the arrow gets there. 15 yards and under is a good place to start and stay. I'm not trying to be silly just honest. Traditional bow hunting is a close range hunt.
Hey Robert, I’ve watched this video a number of times. Been shooting a compound for the last few years. I’m right handed but left eye dominant and I’m going to make the switch to a left handed bow. I want my first left handed bow to be a hill bow. Would love to ask a few questions to you beforehand. I’m in Atlanta don’t see many places to buy a bow or try any. Give me a holler!
Ok I’ve been shooting my longbow off and on for about 3 seasons and hunted with it a couple times, haven’t harvested anything with it yet. I always seem to grab compound and shoot a deer and don’t get excited anymore. Any pointers for becoming more confident with longbow.
I have a left-handed Howard Hill owl And 90 % of the time it hits right were I look I might hit 6 shots perfect, the next two will miss my target completely to the right I don't know if I'm limp wristing the grip or overdrawing or plucking hard I've been trying to figure it out do you have any pointers, on how I should be holding the riser with my and I do not want to put a death grip on there any help thanks
Sounds like your pushing your bow arm out. Make sure to push straight to the target. I grip my Hill bows fairly solid with the heel of my hand down. Jason at Bowhunters Wilderness podcast has an excellent video on gripping Hill style bows. Also look up hitting them like Howard Hill by John Shulze.excellent instruction from a Master.
I love watching your videos I have just made the switch to a 1976 best super grizzly I got off eBay for a 130$ 45 pound and been getting tuned in for this next deer season
Love it brother, love that you’re not ashamed of Jesus Christ too 🙌🏻
Amen
Amen, never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Why would he be aahamed?
It's easy to love Christ when your bow collection could feed poor Christians. American Christians have no idea
I love your videos sir. Your positive and humble demeanor are something that we dont see very often anymore. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'm in Jeff Davis Co. as well, and I'm new to traditional bows (shot compounds off and on for years) so I'm trying to learn all that I can. Again thanks for taking time to share your experiences with us.
Robert is the kind of guy I would love to be friends with.
Brother I love that representation of walking with Jesus on the bow very unique and awesome
Thanks for sharing some of your bows and for sharing your love for our God.
I love your shirt. Praise God for he is worthy of all praise.
Amen!!
Thanks for sharing. One of my grandfathers, George Carter, is buried at Ten Mile Creek Baptist church cemetery near Baxley. He was the first sheriff of Appling county.
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
Those are all amazing bows, Robert. That bow you built that is a Hill style bow, the bamboo layered bow is very nice bow. The Lord bless you!
Thanks 👍

They are good longbows for the money . The Ausable is better. I have owned a Montana it was a shooter
@@robertcarte95 went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Montana 45 pounds picked up a good fast flight string to boot . Can’t wait !!

Difference between compound and Long bow? (Typically I know that long bows the power is in the wrist in stead of the axel on a compound).
Thank you 😊
If you are looking for a 30-40 yard shot on a trophy buck I would steer you towards a rifle.
@@robertcarte95 that’s a bit weird, what is the range of a #50 long bow?
A 50 lb longbow will take deer as far as you can hit him. Only problem is the deer won't be in the same place when the arrow gets there. 15 yards and under is a good place to start and stay. I'm not trying to be silly just honest. Traditional bow hunting is a close range hunt.
👍🎯
Hey Robert, I’ve watched this video a number of times. Been shooting a compound for the last few years. I’m right handed but left eye dominant and I’m going to make the switch to a left handed bow.
I want my first left handed bow to be a hill bow. Would love to ask a few questions to you beforehand. I’m in Atlanta don’t see many places to buy a bow or try any. Give me a holler!
Check out Creek Walker trading for a fine Hill bow!
@@robertcarte95 Preciate the response! I’ll look now. Do you suggest getting a lighter draw weight for my first bow if I’m changing to my left hand?
I wouldn't know about switching hands. Pull what you got with your left and see how it feels.

I have one of Steve’s bows and it’s my favorite as well. A Classic Model.
Which model is yours? Thanks
Mine is a Classic. Fine bow!
Thanks for sharing brother. Which Northern Mist Longbow do you have?
Thanks again and may God bless you .
Thanks. I have a Classic.
@@robertcarte95 thanks brother.
Ok I’ve been shooting my longbow off and on for about 3 seasons and hunted with it a couple times, haven’t harvested anything with it yet. I always seem to grab compound and shoot a deer and don’t get excited anymore. Any pointers for becoming more confident with longbow.
Sell the compound.
@@robertcarte95 how far are you from dothan alabama
I live near Baxley ,Ga. It's in Southeast Ga. I think Dothan Alabama is a long ways.
I have a left-handed Howard Hill owl
And 90 % of the time it hits right were I look
I might hit 6 shots perfect, the next two will miss my target completely to the right I don't know if I'm limp wristing the grip or overdrawing or plucking hard I've been trying to figure it out do you have any pointers, on how I should be holding the riser with my and I do not want to put a death grip on there any help thanks
Sounds like your pushing your bow arm out. Make sure to push straight to the target. I grip my Hill bows fairly solid with the heel of my hand down. Jason at Bowhunters Wilderness podcast has an excellent video on gripping Hill style bows. Also look up hitting them like Howard Hill by John Shulze.excellent instruction from a Master.
@@robertcarte95 thanks for your help 🙏
Where you get your broad head?
On the hill style longbow you made, did you glue that up yourself or was it a kit from somewhere?
Built it and the form and hot box.
@@robertcarte95 awesome. Looks great.
Robert do you like Tolke bows.
Yessir! Toelke Whip is a fine bow.
Do you ever hunt with bear bow
I love watching your videos I have just made the switch to a 1976 best super grizzly I got off eBay for a 130$ 45 pound and been getting tuned in for this next deer season
You got any bows for sale I need something 60 pound
Don't have any to sell.
