Yep, they were made by Dave Schultz from Prentice Wi, at least that is where he lived when building the bows. And they were Bighorn copies. How many pounds is it? Over 70?

As a side note Dave was not too trustworthy. Never followed through with building bows for a lot of people who ordered them and paid up front, me included.

Humm, very few made under 70#. He only built the limbs. Handle was pre-cut/shaped on a duplicater at the place where they made the actionwood. All he did to the handle was finish sanding and put a finish on, plus install the TD bushing. By installing the TD bushing after handle was cut out he had alignment problems plus bushing coming out.
