John Schultz was a nice fellow Stink, came here to PA and put on demos at the bowhunters festival in Forksville. I talked to him on the phone several times. He was one of the fellows that worked as a bow maker at Howard Hill Archery, which is still in buisness. He made a nice bow, straight reflex and fairly stable but the reflex deflex design that came on in the late eighties took a lot of the hand shock that was inherent in Shults's bows design away and gave all the advantages it had like stability and ability to handle a heavy arrow. He eventually got out of bow making, he developed a allergic reaction to a combination of the hardwood dust and the finishes used on the bows. Owned two of his bows over the years, bamboo lams and black glass. Nice shooters but the fit and finish was not up to some of the other makers I knew and he did not keep up with the improvements in design that came from others. Had a loyal following of shooters though and that is a good thing.
There have literally been hundreds of great bowmakers over the past fifty years, including some production style bows.
If you want to talk about this a little more or are considering making a purchase give me a PM. Maybe I can steer you in the right direction.
Also there is a good magazine called Traditional Bowhunter that has some good info. I used to advertise with them when they first went national
