I sure would like to get a hold of his layout for his bow.Got one of his Baron's at Denton for $90.00.One of the best bows I've owned.

I think Fritz has been long away from the archery scene... if I remember correctly, he developed sensitivity to the products and woods used in bowbuilding.  

I don't remember the spelling, but his last name is not Frederick... it is Jongk (or Jonhk, or Johngk, or SOMETHING!).

Fine man that our sport is poorer not to have in its ranks.  I don't think he is available for contact, though, from what I have heard.

Daryl is correct.  Fritz became ill and had to stop making bows.  His last name is Johnk.  He was one heck of a longbow maker and one heck of a gentleman as well.  Todd
