I was waiting for him to put that bow up for sale! Went out of town hunting for the weekend and when I check TG I had missed it already. But like I said before, I don't have any extra money right now. Good pickup. That bow is gorgeous!

Let us know what you think about it.

Hey,

Quick question. For someone that wants to buy a Hill bow, which Hill style is the most economical way to go? Assume USED is not an option.

Thank you for your time.

MOST economical would be a u finish from 7 lakes. He makes it really easy to finish it yourself with a minimal of tools.
Then with value figured in (considering veneers, glass, cores etc options ) JD Berry has a very affordable price without upcharges for options

I placed an order with Dan for another Super D yesterday. I'll post pics when it gets here...should be around Christmas. Macassar Ebony and Pynma limbs. I went with a straight grip, no leather. I just can't help myself....I love the simplicity and quietness of these style bows

I re-read pages 650-850 in the old thread between yesterday and this morning. Haha, it's sooo addicting

Green · November 30, 2013, 08:56:00 PM

Having a hard time waiting on the new Toelke Jeff? Lol.

Jacques - congrats on snagging the Schulz!

GregD · December 01, 2013, 09:18:00 AM

Just read through the John Schulz post and was reminded that one of the kids started making bows again, I remember people were having a hard time getting a hold of him for a while. I've never heard if people got their bows and what they thought of them. Did anyone on here get one? Is he still building them?

JohnI · December 01, 2013, 10:36:00 AM

I ordered one and never did receive it.

December 01, 2013, 11:36:00 AM

When Tom was making bows I was with in moments of bringing the check to the post office. Instead, I brought my wife to the hospital. I wrote him and explained the problem. By the time that I was ready to reorder, he was not making bows. When Steve started making glassed bows, I called someone that had one of his. The report was very encouraging. My first corespondence was prompt and promicing. A month later, when I had the money, I could not get a phone call through and I could not get a responce to any emails. I had every intention of selling my 64@26 Legend and replacing it with a 55@26 bow, but the lack of communication halted the sale. I had heard that there was a rather serious situation that Steve had at the time. Not completely sure of the details, so I will leave it at that.

far rider · December 01, 2013, 12:01:00 PM

Hill collectors might want to check one of those places one goes to buy things. Might be that there is a Howard Hill recurve built by John Schulz up for sale.

Well since James of JD Berry Archery is computer challenged :)I get the privilege of posting this..........

James shot this beautiful buck today, shooting a 66" 54@28 Morningstar. All day sit, with nothing showing itself untill this beaut appeared, 10 yard shot, but the buck was about 30 feet or so straight below in the bottom of a little ravine, perfect shot with an easy 100 yard recovery. Quick ,clean kill. Shooting cedars tipped with Bear razor heads.

(I paraphrased the story as relayed by James)

WOW!
