I know that Howard made bows himself.  Then I assume he contracted with other bowyers to build his bows.  Just curious how many different bowyers were involved in making his bows through out the years?

I forgot about Stotler.  

Sirius, I think the OP was asking for bowyers who worked at Howard Hill Archery specifically, not those who built Hill-style bows in general??

Dale Phillips, Jim Darling, Dan Schulz, John Schulz, Ted Kramer, Lee Kramer, Bob Stotler, Tim Meigs, Craig Ekin, (per Dick Whiteman).  I know Wayne Stotler filmed some of Tembo, but not sure if he was also a bowyer like his brother.
