John Schulz Longbow (new to me)
« on: September 12, 2011, 10:50:00 AM »
Real happy Hill shooter but my Georgia cousin Steve hyped me into this Schulz after he was so pleased with his. Came Saturday. I'm pleased big after initial adjustments (fistmele & nock point) had me shooting dead nuts. Not much different than my Hills but sure easy on the eyes & history connect w/one of my alltime heroes Mr Schulz. 68" ntn & scaled 75#@28" clean as a whistle. Bought it from "sorefingers" Frank Dohman. LSS, he's plenty straight arrow!

What do you guys think?

My Schulz Hunter and especially my Schulz Legend have been my common denominator for how I rate a bow for 35 years. I doubt you will ever find a better bow, so you better get used it being around.

Thanks men. A blessing for sure Pavan. I assume it's bamboo Bob just like many Hills. Shoots like it & very hard hitting. Couldn't think of a better hunt than w/Okie frum Muskogee Pat & Onleave Steve in Georgia. Cold dead fingers Steve. JV, she's something else & I've shot Hill lb's only 35 straight years. Appreciate the favorable comments.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

As far as I'm concerned John's bows are the standard by which all longbows are judged.... you just don't find better craftsmanship!

I'me got a Howard Hill Big Five from the era that John was bowyer there... 70", 75@28", brown glass over bamboo with bubinga riser.

I also have a Shulz Trophy Hunter, brown glass over bamboo with Myrtle riser, 110 @ 28"

Yes sir Buddy! "Old Tom" 66" and 52@28.

I have to give you a lot of the credit for getting me over to the American longbow.

It was our phone conversations that your enthusiasm poured out that started the ember smoldering.

I was shooting a bunch of heavy R/D bows back then and very light weights(high 30's to low 40's)

Now look at me...lol most of my bows are in the 56-58 pound range and they are all Hills or Hill style.(save for the few oldies recurves and a couple of horse bows, all just for fun)

My serious hunting bows are longbows.

God bless,Mudd
