We have a Local bowyer here that I am thinking of
buying one of his bows. They shoot really well, I was wanting a takedown but after shooting his one piece I might go that route. Does anyone know anything about Holzrichter bows in Wichita ks?
I have known him for a long time but there is only a limited number of his bows out there. I know he has gone to some of the bigger shoots in Oklahoma just not sure what he has sold since I have been out of trad for a few years. I am just getting back into it. now I am shooting everything.

Well - John is kinda ugly, but he makes a great bow. I knew him for quite a while before he talked me into trying one of his bows. I own and have shot more kinds of bows than seems reasonable. I like most of them. But I was amazed at how well his takedown recurve shot. I bought one and got another set of limbs for it this year. I don't think I have ever missed a deer with it. Since you know John, you know he stands behind his bows. I'm still a reluctant bow junkie (I hate to spend money), but if I had to trim the herd down to one bow, I believe his is the one I would keep.

hey x !!!! I havent heard of him but if you like the bow and the man thats a great place to get back into it IMO. Keep in touch. Tom

You can't go wrong with one of John's bow! I have 2 of his longbows a 62" and a 56" both are superbows. Am waiting on a 3rd! I could go on and on.....excellent from start to finish! :archer:

I have one of his takedown recurves. It's a great shooter, very smooth to draw with no stack.

Dave Beeler is also a bowyer in Wichita. Great guy and great bow. Though I think he may have limited the number of bows he is gonna make in 2010. He wants to have the time to take his boy hunting next year!
-
I will talk with John in the next couple of days and see if he will allow me to take some pics and post them for you guys. I hope he is planning on doing some bigger shoots but I am doubting it.
Yes he makes a one piece bow, I think it may his best looking bow yet!
-
I too would like to see some of his bows.
How does one get in contact with him?
-
his number is 316-993-0858, I Just talked to him so he is ok with me posting his number.
-
I will be posting some pics also.
-
I talked with John the other day... I ordered a one piece! now is the waiting time. I ordered the one piece so I will post up pics when I get it. I ordered Osage riser with phenolic strips, black and gray I think. the bow is 60in. I can't wait.

John is a member of Ninnescah Bowhunters, but because of bad knees, he seldom comes to shoots.
You will see him at the trad shoot in Kingman next year. I have one of John's bows and one of David Dowell's. ( Arlington, Ks) Can't say anything bad about either.
-
Welcome, Mike! :wavey:
-
I have one of David Dowells recurves and just ordered a recurve TD from John last week. I shot John's personal bow last Auigust. It may be the finest shooting recurve I have ever shot. David and John are very good friends and share material and information. They usually attend shoots together.
