Howard Hill Bows
No other man has so completely dominated any sport as Howard Hill did in the
sport of archery. Howard has been inducted into the Bowhunting Hall of Fame not
only for his ability with a bow and arrow, but also in recognition of excellence
in the design and manufacture of bowhunting equipment.
The tradition of Howard's craftsmanship, begun over 50 years ago, is carried on
in Howard Hill Archery's patented bows designed by the master himself.
All Howard Hill longbows are laminated, with fiberglass backing for maximum
strength and durability. The straight-end longbow is feather light in the hand
and has excellent maneuverability; it gives you speed, stability and cast.
Howard Hill bows will generally shoot a minimum speed of 115 feet per second
plus the weight of the bow (i.e. a 65# bow should shoot at least 180 fps and may
exceed that minimum).
Howard Hill bows are highly customizable by specifying your choice of wood
risers, hide wraps, inlays, draw weight, length, horn or antler tip overlays,
extra laminations, special finishes or take-down configurations. Due to this
wide array of options we will contact your after ordering to verify and consult
with you on the options ordered.
Allow 5 to 6 weeks for delivery on all Howard Hill
bows.
