Hill Style Bow by Great Plains Bow Company

[@scottrobertson9452]

This will be my next longbow. I like the design, the handle and the wood combination.

[@matthewbranstine2483]

I love my GP Hill style bow! I wanted an ASL because of history and tradition, but I never tried one that I liked shooting until that one at Great Plains.

[@zachsisk192]

how does it shoot? I shoot a Hoyt Satori now but really would like to get a GP hill style.

[@matthewbranstine2483]

@@zachsisk192 it shoots really great! It is, of course not as fast as a Satori, but it is nearly as fast as a normal "modern" reflex-deflex longbow.

[@VersatileHunter]

@@matthewbranstine2483that’s because it is a reflex deflex bow. They basically took a Hill style design and changed everything. It’s now not a Hill style.

Fantastic mate and can't wait for Armins review and that shooting bit was nice to see cheers from Canada

[@growinmoflower3391]

Beautiful design ✌

[@caseysmith544]

I actually like that the longbows/hybrid longbows all come standard with the notched grip as did the Youth I got at 45 pounds in the hickory design Pierre (Pier) South Dakota, not me but others get pissed if it is said wrong same for Ft Pierre (Ft. Pier) only those who are born here really care how they say the name. The notched grip is my favorite grip/handle style as I can still do a full grip on the bow the way a Howard Hill flat grip/handle is supposed to be done knowing where to place the hand on the grip/handle, and it will often fit my small hands better with most adult bows being either too deep but skinny or too wide but the right depth for my hands, not that I really needed it with my Youth Longbow if the grip is proportional to the bow size. I tend to find in looking that the flat grip/handle is either is the more triangle/trapezoid wedge shape or actual flat with minimal rounding so the corners are still nearly a 90% angle with just sharpness missing. What I like if going straight handle is a more rounded back part of the grip/handle is what I like in the longbow style grip/handle but still relatively flat sides to the grip so as to not have a rounded style of grip/handle like some English style longbows.

[@loganpollock1689]

Hill (and me) always used the Mediterranean draw. Are your bows tillered for 3 under draw?

[@greatplainsbow]

@@loganpollock1689 they are tillered at an 1/8" which works equally as good for 3 under or split

[@tomheron5786]

I always use heavy arrows on a Hill style bow. The hand shock disappears

[@greatplainsbow]

Yep it definitely helps a lot

[@jme104]

I thought that with two time thicker limbs you get eight times stronger limbs so for the same draw weigth a sticker limb should have less wood than thinner and wider limbs and be lighter . Am I right ?

[@ThirdLawPair]

What's the difference between backset versus reflex?

[@thorstenrennhofer7866]

What is the max.drawlength of a 68 inch asl bow?

[@greatplainsbow]

Probably around 31"

[@thorstenrennhofer7866]

@@greatplainsbow Can you make it longer for my 32inch drawlength?

[@robcarr8505]

Do you still sell the ASL's? I couldn't find them on the website.

[@greatplainsbow]

We do for sure. They will be back on the website soon

[@jeffallen6754]

Talk about hand shock I have a Jerry Hill wildcat at 80# that I won’t/can’t shoot any more it’s a arm breaker.

[@greatplainsbow]

That sounds like a beast.

[@sammehlberg5766]

Do you have your Hill model posted on your website?

[@greatplainsbow]

@Sam Mehlberg yes, we have several on our in stock page. They are not on the custom page, but you can call the shop and they’ll get you taken care of.

[@seanjorgenson8064]

Has a little Deathwish longbow in it.

[@MarshallStrider]

Nice bow and shooting. How much pounds did the bow have that you used at the end?

[@greatplainsbow]

@ Marshall Strider 52# at 28”

[@MarshallStrider]

@@greatplainsbow Thanks for the answer.

[@JAlvisllc]

Certainly not a "Hill Style" but it looks "Hill Inspired".
