The "King of Archery," "The Worlds Greatest Archer," "OneShot," all names referring to Howard Hill the champion of the longbow. No matter the title, Howard Hill was legendary, and his success led to the promotion of traditional archery and a surge of interest in the American SemiLongbow. Howard Hill viewed the longbow as the most perfect hunting weapon. His modification of the English longbow to suit his needs, became the American SemiLongbow. The American SemiLongbow is synonymous with a Hillstyle longbow the bow that led him in his success. Today there are many versions of the American SemiLongbow. In a quest to find the features that Howard Hill demanded in his own bows, a weapon that he perfected, was the impetus of this study. We can identify his standards by how his bows were built, what he insisted on in his own line of bows offered to the public, and what he taught to the bowyers employed by him. By examining Howards original bows and following the progression of design until he perfected this weapon, we understand the qualities necessary in a Hillstyle longbow. If you would like to know more about the equipment and the bow that led to his success, then you will enjoy this book.
