I know that John Shultz used to build bows for Howard Hill, and that he used to live around Hamilton. I'm also pretty sure that he no longer builds bows, and that he son sells leather crafts.
Has anyone here shot one of his bows, not the hill bows. I keep hearing how smooth all wood (or grass for 'boo for you picky types) bows are, and his are often mentioned as some of the smoothest. I've seen a few of his bows offered for sale, but it seemed they were more for collectors and I was never too sure if they were shootable, and if they were how durable they would be (for the price especially).
Just wondering what info, experiences any of you might have had. His bows seem like an interesting piece of archery history, and I understand he was (is?) quite a character. Also interested in his relationship with HH, as a fellow who made bows HH actually shot (again, please correct me if I'm mistaken).
