Above all else don't get over bowed with to much weight it will kill your proper form.

A excellent reference and read.

Jacques is an outstanding longbowman.

Thanks for sharing this story and that bow is an awesome piece of history.

I am with you my brother of the bow, that's my preference also.

I think the difference in speed is not much much I have owned both, the smoothest draw is the string follow and I think a little easier to shoot correct form with follow thru. But that is just one opinion. I actually sold all my back set models.

Kind of like wing shooting, eyes on target and swing thru the shot on moving targets.

Jeremy that sounds like an awesome build. Looking forward to the photos. Thanks for sharing.

That's a beauty and at a reasonable weight, congratulations that should be a real shooter.

Very nice Brice that is a trophy of a lifetime, congratulations.

Thanks for sharing.

Jacques has all kinds of historical artifacts and neat archery related items. He is the real deal.

That is a beauty.

Very nice indeed.

Absolutely my favorite Hill style longbows.

The broadheads with the brass pins are older than the broadheads with the steel pins they were made at different times but its a good find either way. Congrates.

Thanks for Sharing.

Another Archery legend gone too soon. RIP Mr. Lee.

It will great for you to take your first big game with a longbow you made yourself and good for you to keep striving and learning about bow building. Be well and keep em sharp.
