Yes John is still making bows. For those who are wondering who may have never heard of them - John does not advertise, and he builds bows at his own pace. He could become a very well known bowyer in no time if he had the desire to have a years long backlog of orders.
Of course I may come across as biased since we sell his bows, but the Ramparts are my favorite r/d longbow. I have been fortunate enough to have the chance to shoot most of the popular bows out there, and in my opinion, I have not found one better. Several which I have liked equally as much, but none that I thought were better.
There has been several occasions where we have had lots of big named bows in the shop all at once. On those occasions, customers with no intention of buying a bow, just wanting to shoot them because they have never had the chance to shoot all those popular bows, have been so impressed with the Rampart that they ended up leaving with one. I have told that story several times to describe Ramparts.
