Title: John Schultz, American Longbow
Post by: rainman on June 11, 2012, 05:22:00 PM
I would like to see some pictures of John Schultz American Longbows.  There is a used one I am looking at, and want to make sure my identification is correct.  Only marking on bow is American longbow company.

Hey buddy, I'm very interested in the specs on that bow such as width at fades, width at handle, length of handle, etc.  I looks like the last belly lamb that rises up the fades is glass only.  Is that correct?

2.5" deep front to back & 4.25" long top to bottom. Nothing under the fiberglass from handle to fades. 14" riser.

This is my go to daily bow for everything & measures 80#@29" on the scale. Call anytime per number on PM. Anything else let me know?

Great work Steve! Do you know how lucky we are? Not just for the Schulz bows either!

Found a hog soup kitchen not 20 minutes from here. Come when you can.

Thanks for the pics.  The bow is a Schultz but the length and poundage have been erased.  I am going to get it, seems to  be about a 70# bow.

Gorgeous bows guys! I've been on the lookout for a heavyweight Schultz for some time but seems I'm always a day late and a dollar short.

Beautiful bow, and thanks for the specs.  Way too heavy for me to draw.  Expect that in 1400 England you guys would have been put in the front row of the archer contingent.  ;)

I have a Schulz Hunter and a Legend that I had not shot in a long time.  I was thinking about selling them both so I went out to shoot them one last time. Then I changed my mind and decided to keep them both.  I just finished up a set of arrows for them that fly perfect, so now I cannot sell them since I have new arrows to wear out.
