Been shooting Howard Hill style bows starting at 11 years old. I am now 70 and still love to shoot and hunt. That is a nice and well proportioned bow. Enjoy, Danny- Have to add, was eating dinner while watching your video - Fried gator tail and hushpuppies, shot the gator with a hickory long bow.
I appreciate you. Learned. You intro m John Schulz. Thank you. Humidity effect the poundage. I thought so but u said it! Nice bow but probably outside of me ($) . Probably a sanlida x8 longbow fan. Thank you
Robert, I have Swamp Music’s older sister, Sweet Music. She is the same construction, string follow, except with brown glass on the back. Very tiny tips and shoots like a dream. I would put them 200 grain broadheads on your arrows and see how they fly. You just might not need to cut them any shorter. Enjoy and thanks for your videos.
Beautiful bow!!! I just purchased my first hill style bow today. Supposedly it's a vintage Martin 68 inches 60# @28. I bought it on eBay so now I have to figure out what arrows to buy.
Very nice. I have a John Schulz bow that was worked on by Nate Steen and just took delivery of a David Miller bow and my experience has been the same. Enjoy!
Nice looking bow, I picked up a nice 45# LB made by an Alabama man, Danny Norris. It is a beautiful Reflex deflex 62" bow and shoots awesome. Got it at the Arkansas Traditional Bowhunters Spring Shoot this weekend. go find a pig Brother!
Great looking bow! I'm sure you'll get some bacon with it lol I was wondering does it have reinforced limb tips because I was gonna try to make a self bow soon and didn't know if I should put reinforced tips on it
It is a string follow. I did not order the bow. I have been talking with Nate several years and he built it for me. He does have a business and bow building is more of a hobby. I'm not sure if you can order one.
I just bought my first longbow. It's cut before center. I'm having issues getting arrows to fly straight. Is it true I need to go to a weaker spine than I would normally?
Most any narrow 2 blade has worked for me. I also like the 3 blade woodsman. It's narrow and long. I like the zwicky no mercy. Good head for the price.
I recommend Great Plains Traditional Bow Co where they have a Howard Hill Model, they are willing to make if you ask for it, they are skinny limb bows like above and have a minor backset of 2 degrees. Just ask for grip style of straight, dished or medium--deep locator/universal notched, only 3 grips used for longbows. Do realize bow will be made 1/8 past center cut and use Laminae layers of bamboo and wood outer with carbon fiber center. I have a Bow from Great Plains Traditional Bow Co where bow is a Youth Longbow 52 inches as I only have a 24--24.5 inch draw and bow is 45--46 pounds at my draw as I say a bow is 45 pounds. Now I only mention bow becuse if you look at the mild reflex deflex design limbs where limb looks like a straight reflex deflex bow you will see how skinny limbs they are like bow above and some later models of Howard Hill brand bows some still made by his son when he was using fiberglass. My bow is different using more layers between bow limbs however, they use a carbon fiber core and bamboo as well as wood Carbon fiber core is so laminate layers can be made super skinny in limb and not twist. I got model as it comes with a mid-depth locator/universal notched grip as I like a mid-depth locator/universal notched grip for longbows and some more longbow shaped riser/handle recurve. If I were to make bows, a material I would look at is.
The bow that Great Plaines offers is the furthest thing from the bow featured in this video. You may as well shoot a modern R/D bow if you need the features offered in Great Plaines “Hill Style” bow. It takes away from everything a true Hill style bow brings to the Hill style shooter.
@@caseysmith544 I know. I’ve seen it in multiple videos. It resembles nothing of an actual Hill style bow. They came out with it when all the hype about ASLs started recently. Either you apreciate and stick with the true Hill style bow or you go with something else. You can’t take a Hill design, change it to be like a more modern longbow and still call it “Hill Style”
Robert it kills me to see you go down the advertising billboard path. Many folks buy what you put on your TH-cam. Sure like your walks in the trees what us common folk do. Starting sound like Northern Mist Jason.
I'm not advertising anything. I Bought this bow with hard earned money and love it so I say that. Nobody gives or pays me to say anything. If I talk about a product it's because it works for me and I want to share that info. I also have a Northern Mist. Highly recommend them as well as my Creek Walker Hill bow . No advertising here just showing a fine bow I am very happy to own.
This is the furthest thing from advertising. Mr. Carter here is just showcasing a work of art that he’s been waiting a decade to own. Nate of Sunset Hill Longbows doesn’t advertise and doesn’t make bows for very many people so advertising would be in vane anyway. At no point in this video does Mr. Carter tell anyone to go buy any particular brand of bow. He merely mentions a few bows that he enjoys shooting and hunting with.
“No I will not ever paint this bow.” 😂 beautiful bow brother Robert.
Thanks for making this video about that bow! I love the Hill-style bows. Man, they turn me on!👍
Nice bow thanks for sharing JIK
Beautiful, quiet bow.
Very nice looking Bow, Sir.
Nate, you are a good Southern gentleman and you deserve a fine bow like that, and they don't come any better than Nate's longbows.
I like the rounded edges on the limbs and the Shultz style shelf. Looks like a great bow

Awesome bow!

That bow is stunning.
Love it, "Swamp Music"! Looking forward to many tunes from the swamp! Congratulations, Nate obviously a quality man!
It is a beauty. I know you will enjoy it. Can't wait to see the first deer/hog with it!
Good looking shaft slinger..
I appreciate you. Learned. You intro m John Schulz. Thank you. Humidity effect the poundage. I thought so but u said it! Nice bow but probably outside of me ($) . Probably a sanlida x8 longbow fan. Thank you
Congratulations on your new Sunset Hill Longbow. I have a fine backquiver he made for me, but I know it's really hard to get a longbow from him.
awesome looking bow, great name for it. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful bow! Congratulations
That has to be one of the finest quality bows made Compounds can’t compare to that It’s tradition and that’s what I primarily shoot is a compound
I’ve never shot a Howard Hill style bow. Gonna have to try one. Looks like you’ve got a dandy, happy for you Sir.
Robert, I have Swamp Music’s older sister, Sweet Music. She is the same construction, string follow, except with brown glass on the back. Very tiny tips and shoots like a dream.

Rc nice bow happy for you
Love the bows you are shooting. I hope to find a low pound long bow I can hunt with. Cool stuff.
Congrats!! Nate is a great bowyer and leather worker..I have a couple of his back quivers but sadly no bow (yet).
Perfect name for your bow and a little blood on it is the only paint it needs.Fine bow 👍🏻
Awesome, Robert. Can you describe the difference in feel from your other ASL's?
Much smoother and seems to point naturally.

That one is beautiful.
That thing is gorgeous
I like the green back, good looking bow, now you need to start putting some notches on it..
I just recently got my first ASL bow, it was made by Mike Davis. I really like this bow can't wait until next season to hunt with it.
Nice looking bow, I picked up a nice 45# LB made by an Alabama man, Danny Norris. It is a beautiful Reflex deflex 62" bow and shoots awesome. Got it at the Arkansas Traditional Bowhunters Spring Shoot this weekend. go find a pig Brother!

Beauty
Congratulations on your new bow! Hope you get a pig with soon.
English style lay up cool bow. Is it 64 or 66 inch long? Is it cut to the center?
@@SeanJorgenson-vy8nw it's 66 and not cut center. A true Hill style bow. Narrow with thick limbs.
Hi Mr Robert,
Is this bow a string follow design?
How long did you have to wait from order to receipt?
It is a string follow. I did not order the bow. I have been talking with Nate several years and he built it for me. He does have a business and bow building is more of a hobby. I'm not sure if you can order one.
I just bought my first longbow. It's cut before center. I'm having issues getting arrows to fly straight. Is it true I need to go to a weaker spine than I would normally?
Yes or add point weight.
I'll arm wrestle you for it. I'm a little weak feller with a bad back and messed up rotator cuffs. What do ya say?
Gorgeous bow. You shooting it 3 under?
I do. I have a messed up middle finger and cannot shoot split anymore. This works maybe better.
I shoot 3 under too. Very similar style to you as well. Not too fast not too slow. Goldilocks actually. Perfect. 😂
What is the best type broadhead to use with longbow for deer hunting shooting 45 lb. Draw
I was trying to get Howard Hill type broad head what say yee
Most any narrow 2 blade has worked for me. I also like the 3 blade woodsman. It's narrow and long. I like the zwicky no mercy. Good head for the price.
Sure is a fine bow....
Hey Carter have you ever shot a rabbit with bow
Many.

@@VersatileHunter try Gryaven Archery an all wood model made nearly 💯% Howard Hill's original 72 inch model from the 1930's.

Nate does not need advertisers. There are many people out there that want one and will never own one.
