The bowyer is Bud Hitt.  He and his wife, Gertude, were avid tournamnet archers, with Gertrude setting some phenominal records in the womens division.

Bud made some fine bows and was one of the leaders in the development of the "cam limb" design.  His best known model is the "Hit Black Ace"

His main product line now is plaques and awrards.

Check out this URL for his official website.

On Droptines website, Rich has an interview with Budd Hitt that is worth reading.

Hope this helps
