American Longbow Only "Howard Hill Legendary Archer"

Traditional Archery

[@armytrpt1979]

WOW Howard Hill, a legend of film and of the sport. I doubt there will be another truly traditional archer like him.

[@PeterOStecherClassicArchery]

Thank you for that wonderful clip on Howard Hill!!! Best to You! Peter

[@RandyLeftHandy]

Why don't people understand that hunting is a way of life for a lot of people? Do you think that eating ground beef from taco bell makes you better than someone who kills their own?

[@arno799]

Howard Hill appeared in a fascinating short film 'Deep Sea Fishing' with his friend actor Errol Flynn... both legends and sadly missed.Thanks for the posting from Down Under.

[@BennyCFD]

We'll never see the likes of Howard Hill in our lifetime.

[@jonduffer4340]

That was wonderful - thank you for posting...

[@tlv6666]

Read hunting the hard way and wild adventure as a 13 year old kid. Reading them again now . 40 years later

[@TheMMObro]

Gotta love rhe old days. Archery in a shirt and tie lol

[@bassetter1]

never seen buffalo hunt indian style on video before . cool.

[@blorchdude4]

my idle right there, thanks for the great video

[@2brujoman]

All I want to know is who is doing the guitar work...man, that is some fine playing!

[@buzzzz1964]

Great vid. Thanks.

[@jculbreth1000]

nice shot good music too!!!

[@davidkeitel5967]

Attacked by a charging ufo, he took away its credit card.

[@huyked]

@Vethalon Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

[@haydenchiasson1404]

The best there was.

[@rogeriogottems2356]

Whats the song?

[@stuartmackay9270]

I wonder if Jerry H, John S, or Craig E, can confirm the right and left handed shooting, and if he did shoot left handed, which bow did he use?

[@huyked]

@Vethalon Which part exactly, or all?

[@MrADjam5]

This is from the Howard Hill Video Tembo. You give no credit for that. Howard and Craig Ekin would not approve.

[@weseyedwalk]

@cookie86051 180 yards?! holy sh$t! didn't Fred Bear make some long distance kill shots like that to?

[@pumile0812]

Tztz, funny - "majesty" :-)

[@avisfacticius]

I noticed in the video that Hill first shoot right handed and at the end left handed.

[@-killemquietly]

Interesting he could shoot right or left handed. Anybody catch that final shot in the clip at the skeet clay was left handed...

[@ronbloomberg]

Yeah, the film must have been reversed.

[@-killemquietly]

Claude Herbert No, I researched it after seeing this clip. Actually he was left eye dominant and did shoot left-handed on occasion. He said in one of his books by the time he figured out he was left eye dominant, he was already shooting dimes out of the air, So he figured good enough why switch. But he was known to shoot left-handed quite occasionally. He was a bow maker also so he probably had to test shoot left-handed bows quite often as well.

[@Balamutus3000]

just because some things i said are strange dosent mean they are wrong (simply unacceptable), and actualy you didnt made any question, it was just a discution over theories,(i suppose), everyone is afraid of unknown wich is death and what could happen afterlife, you cant say what it's all about, neither i, none can, could or will, wish you a good and virtuous life!

[@maxncathy44]

Like Byron Ferguson and Lars Anderson...and me..hehe

[@cookie86051]

read his book it says he killed an elk at 180yards!

[@Balamutus3000]

i said SOME are more responsable than others, dude read again the comment if you forget, they are not running by themself but they take advantage of ppl ignorance and maybe hard economic situation, ther are more workers than bosses

[@pumile0812]

Sorry, I don't understand your question - you should rephrase it. But Homo sapiens and H. neanderthalensis were two different species, if you mean that.

[@Balamutus3000]

i was almost sure you are going to answer with acclimatissation

[@zzp1]

Howard Hill shot once an elephant with a 100 lbs longbow. No compound but just ordinary longbow drawing 100 lbs.

[@yugen]

By the time the first compound came out, Howard was in his late 60's. I doubt he would have ever used one.

[@NorthEastSaskFarmer]

The man i hunt with met howard hill, howard gave him 8 broad heads that he used, they are bowlo. I now have them, they have been passed on to me. I don't believe i deserve them, nor do i know there true value, but i do know they were towards, so i must not use them.

[@jonduffer4340]

I know what you ment! Priceless!!!

[@Balamutus3000]

wanna hear another odd stat ? warning: you may not be happy

[@Balamutus3000]

ethic discusions on archery videos haha, anyway, happines is what everyone seeks in life according to Aristotle, i have yet to realize what can make me happy, ty for the adivce

[@pumile0812]

If you knew that in beforehand, why did you write then your statement?

[@Balamutus3000]

right your majesty, i did say we are not destroying, actually,echologic disasters, as i said, only makes earth hostile place for who wants a good life, odd statement ? i'd rather say unacceptable for ppl who realized they dont know why they try to acomplish as much as possible in life,

[@pumile0812]

People living in deserts don't have more sweat pores and people living in cold regions are not smaller or have smaller body appendices. You just have to give your body the time, wear the right clothes and behave like the natives and you will feel as good or bad as they do! But stating that we humans are different form each other and evolved different traits depending on where we are living is actually racist!

[@Balamutus3000]

i agree that everyone has the right to have a good life,but what common ppl do it's stil nothing compared to echologic disasters done by companies of wich aim is simply to make money, i want to say that what we are now, our society, is the result of thousands years of greed for wealth and power

[@Balamutus3000]

XD

[@EnterTheMuffin]

Actually, currently we are undergoing a process called the Holocene extinction. The biggest extinction since the dinosaurs.

[@nerfherder999]

I'm actually more angry about someone intercutting a post-2010 shot of guitar fingerpicking into a 1930s film than all that dribble this Radu guy is spouting. If this were a real social situation the conversation would just move elsewhere leaving the poor troll all alone.

[@caseysmith544]

I was mad about that too. Maybe they had to cut out an entire section of Howard Hill field starting the field dressing his first Buffalo on that hunt so it had to get cut out?

[@pumile0812]

Don't "dude" me. And I remember what you wrote --> "the earth will not exist for ever, what's the diference if it will end now or in 1 milion years ? we are not destroying the earth" What an odd statement... Why don't you run amok, why do you pay in shops, why do you brake at a red street light? It matters what each one of us is doing, so don't say we can do what ever we want, because at the end our world will vanish anyway!!

[@huyked]

You know, it makes me feel so bad for the animals, being shot like that 1:57. But I do eat meat, I'm just saying. It also makes me think of the distant future, where we think, I wish I could see it, with all its advances. But then, I bet the ones in the future, with all the crowding of the human population (unless regulated by the food supply), will look back into the past and think, wow, I wish I was in the past (our present), where land and wildlife was plentiful.

[@Balamutus3000]

if this is racism than how can be considered the diference between sapiens and neanderthal ?

[@PrimitiveJoe766]

The man liked to kill that's for sure. Even went under water to kill. Some just like killing i guess... I am just a target shooter.

[@-killemquietly]

PrimitiveJoe766 we are all killers in our own way. Even if you’re a vegetarian somebody is protecting your lettuce from rabbits...

[@assaultspoon4925]

@@-killemquietly Or Hogs. Damn things are everywhere

[@pierremayer1207]

Some people hunt their meat in the stores then there is some that shop in the wild.

[@pumile0812]

No, evolution is NOT a fact - it is a theory, nothing else! If you would know about science, then you would know that.

[@donaldmack2307]

Scientific “theory” is as good as fact. Layman “theory” is not.

[@Balamutus3000]

i belive that a man who lives at north and is more resistant to cold and one who lives near equator will be more resistant at high temperature is a fact of evolution, scientists said science is a "tool" to understanding the things, i think this tool only leads to false

[@pumile0812]

Sorry to say that again, but evolution is not a fact! There are some natural laws that nobody can deny and where no argumentation is needed, like gravity. That is a fact! What you are talking about is acclimatisation, (almost) everybody can get used to live in the Sahara or in Greenland or up to 4000 m above sea-level - it just takes a while, but not more than a lifetime and therefore for sure hasn't anything to do with evolution.

[@gunguy1541]

By wildlife I think you mean there is no civilized humans on that land, correct? Because if that is the case, your statement is absurd and incorrect.

[@pumile0812]

No thanks, if your "stats" (=statistics??) are as wrong as your other comments, then it's not worth it to listen longer. You don't or cannot understand what it's all about and you have a strange view of the world. You sound like somebody being afraid of the unknown.And you actually never answered my questions! Live your life the way you want and think what you want - but don't ruin it for others and take care of other people and the environment.
