A few of mine. The only bow I am shooting right now. This is just after getting it back from Nate Steen. He did a refinish and check up on her.

Beautiful bows guys.  We are lucky to have these fine examples of Mr. Schulz's art in hand.  

John Schulz/American LongBow, Trophy Hunter

"Young Eagle" - 64", 46@28
4 lams of bamboo under brown glass back and belly
Cocobolo riser

This is a gorgeous bow.  John truly was a master of his craft.  His attention to detail is as good as it gets.  Apparently the limbs on this bow were tapered unusually narrow.  It has VERY small tips as well.  I was fortunate enough to purchase this bow that was originally built for Bob Wesley, Jr., son of famous archer Bob Wesley, for whom the Howard Hill Archery "Wesley Special" is named.

I would love to own more Schulz bows, but I have a hard time finding the lighter weights that I shoot.

Here is a Schulz American Longbow in brown glass 65@28 along side a newer Miller Old Tom. The Schulz is on the right.

A BIT STOUT!!!  Looks like we have one of the lightest and one of the heaviest Schulz's posted here already.  

Man I would love to know what it's like to pull one of these beasts.  Kinda like how I wish I was 6'5" and 250# just for one day   ;)    I don't know how you guys draw bows in this weight class.  More power to ya.  Literally.

I'm lovin' this thread.  I had bought a back quiver off John in the 90's.  Seriously wishing I had bought a bow from him during that time as well.

Yes indeed....similar weight and length bows also.

Kelly if you ever want to sell that bow let me know.  Lightweights like us have to stick together.  It's a beauty.  

Here are the tips of "Young Eagle".  They are incredibly small.  I owned some Pete George "Timberlines" and I thought his tips were tiny 'til I saw these.  Pete was Schulz-trained, but sadly isn't building bows anymore.  You can really see John's influence in the Timberlines.

Isn't it amazing how some bamboo and wood placed in the right hands can become the most simplistic of functional art?  Keep those pics coming.

Nice Cougar!  I don't see very many of them around...

I have one of John's yew and Myrtle HHA Redman on the way.  I hope it survives the mail shipment....

Just received my HHA Schulz Redman last night.  Wow!  Small tips, deep core.....shoots great!

Post by: mikebiz on July 23, 2013, 11:53:00 AM

Great looking pair you got two4.  Yew is a great limb material.  I would say I prefer it just a bit over bamboo.  Real close though.  Feels a bit smoother to me.  Those two look like they were separated at birth.  Nice to see them together.

Just managed to acquire this bow. I have been after this model, "The Cheetah" for quite a while now. I'm toying with the idea of having this bow refinished, so long as John's writing can be kept.

It's 66" long, and 60lb @ 27.5"
