thanks for that Grahame, I have a small number of the howard hill movies but I've never seen that one, the tricks are much the same, different people and story line, but all in all still good to watch, it looks as if it was recorded off a TV, the tracking line settled down midway on the screen you get that when the timing is off when burning old videos' to dvd using a TV. Thanks again for the entertainment..........

One hundred and seventy two pound longbow.

that is all.

He certainly made a lot of those kind of short films. I noticed a couple of the arras didn't seem to be spined to his bow properly going by their wobble. He still hit the targets though.

Can never believe that guy. what he could do was just unreal and using a bow of that poundage at times too.

I have attempted to draw Owens 150# bow and I am here to say that woman in the flick got Howard Hills bow back further that I would have even in Jest

I was aware he shot some very high poundage bows but I doubt it was all the time I was under the impression he opted for something around the 80# mark as his GP bow. but it also shows it can be done, and he did make it look easy.

I was interested to see on another video on the you tube page that opened Howard hill shooting 'Left Handed" at the end of the footage

Thanks Grahame

After you said I had a look at it also and had a chuckle. It reminded me of of photos I have seen of Howard Hill Archery arrows in cardboard boxes. On the box there is a photo printed of Howard Hill shooting left handed. Bad bloopers IMO.
