Welcome to the Sunset Hill Longbow and Leather blog

 Good day all,  welcome to my not so serious blog site, where I will occasionally, as time permits, post information concerning Howard Hill style longbows, Leather goods, and other information as it pertains to the Hill method of shooting a longbow.  I'll also discuss my own Sunset Hill Longbows and tackle.  My goal is to share information to help others understand more fully the simplicity of this style of archery equipment and the simplicity of the shooting style that goes with it.

As John Schulz once said,  "Simplicity is Elegance" and we will definitely use that approach with this blog.  Simplicity of tackle, of shooting technique, of the entire approach to shooting a longbow and enjoying the flight of a well-shot arrow to it's mark.

Keep checking back and see what I or others will add...

Have a great day shooting the LongBow!

  20. Good to see this. Nate, if you still have the parts from Jean_Marie Coche in French I can re-traslate them. I think those should be known too.

  30. Hello this longbow from the LW and pretty much every where else I use this moniker. Anyways reading with great interest all the comments and information provided here. There is nothing like shooting a well behaved ASL. A pleasant thump of the arrow on release and the recovery of the limbs in perfect time, a nice hiss of the feathers and watching where your arrow is going and making contact. Not to mention carrying the bow on a nice little jaunt. I have never built a bow but have watched it done and had a bit of a time where Craig at HH back in the 80's built many different styles of longbows for me from 3 lam bows and 5 lam bows and everything in between. Multi limb core combo's etc. Riser woods of varying types, grips of different designs, big small, rounded etc. Tip overlays, no tip overlays, limb wedges and long and short risers. If you want a great shooting bow for hunting a 64" Tembo model with tip wedges, a 12" riser, egg shaped grip, and riser of a decently heavy wood. Anyways just sayin. Lovin the site. stay safe
