Back to basics! How does it shoot?

I had heard all the hype about these bows and now I know why!

This bow is a “Masterpeice” and the bowyers attention to detail is evident in every way.

The bow is super smooth and like nothing else I have tried. It is even in another ballpark to the Miller I tried recentlty. Super lightweight and zipps a heavy arrow faster than my Big-Five that is 7 pounds more draw weight. It is also super quiet with no need of string silencers. I am so glad i picked it up. It shoots better than i ever will!

I own two Schulz longbows and honeslty i coulld get rid of all my other bows and never miss them and i have some beauties. for some reason the Schulz bows work for me like none of the other 60 or so bows ive owned and probabaly 35+ were longbows. Im convinced the man put magic into his bows some how. Every time i pick one up its an eye opening experience. I will never part with them when i cant pull them ill just sit there and stare at them rembering what it was like to shoot a bow that shot so well. i have trouble imagining why anyone would part with these wonderdful bows but im glad they did so i could own and appreciate them.

I too like the old hill style bows. But I have never experimented with the concave grips.

What do you think of that concave grip?

The dished drip……yes, I tried my first at the Baltimore shoot on a Northern Mist bow and found it to be pretty nice. Schulz preferred the dished while Hill stuck with the straight. I find little difference in the feel of how the bow shoots between the two styles as the dish is very slight. The dish kinda feels a little more “Natural” to the hand and some say it improves consistent hand placement. I would not turn away a bow if it had either style but the more I shoot this Schulz the more comfy it feels.

The only thing that boters me with my Schulz is the leather wedge in the grip i had all my other bows bult without that incorporated and i do hold the bow low in my hand so im at the top of the grip it kind of bugs me. If i could part with the bow long enougb id send it to someone and have the bow resprayed with clear coat it has a few small nicks in the finish and have the grip redone but honeslty im scared to part with it. I dpoubt i could ever replace it if anything happened to it.

I have replaced the grip on my Big-Five with some deer hide and it wasn’t that hard really. A friend of mine also redid his Miller and had a bowyer send him the material already cut to shape.

I head you on not wanting to send it away….

I think if I ever get the urge to remove the horn tip overlays back to it’s original form I would send it to Miller or someone like Nate Steen….

Here is a pic of the redone Big Five – I used deer sinew for stitching but would probably go with B50 for a neater appearance if i did it again….and I might. I want to slim that old girl down in the handle some day.

I just won my Third Schulz longbow yesterday! this one is 70#@28″ we shall see! I think my quest is over now as far as Schulz longbows goes. maybe a st. charles bow next?

[Greg Ragan]

#43360

Nice bow! I almost pulled the trigger on that one also if it were 5 or 10 pounds lighter.

Leave some for the rest of us:lol:

I have heard good things aboput Sunset Hill also…..would like to try one of those someday.

I dont have a scale but i installed a new string and headed out side i warmed up wiht my 56#@26″ Schulz haha 56# thats funny its stouter to draw than my 72# longbows then I moved to the new bow i would estimate its probabaly in the 80# to 85# range im judging this against other longbows built by A Schulz trained bowyer that i have scaled out at 72#@28″. This thing is a beast but boy does it throw an arrow and shoots like a dream. i must say after shooting this one a 60# longbow feels like a kiddy toy! What a sweet bow. Well time to start hitting the weight bench again and digging out my 90# cedar shafts from my old Stotlar longbow and see how they fly.i’m going to try and get my cameras reseloution down and take some pics to post of the three of them together.

You better get your pics up soon! I have a new (to me) Schulz Redman on the way. I am praying it arrives safe and sound. Pics to follow!

Here are a few pics of my Schulz Tembo (on the left) compared to my Ekin built Big Five.

Tips:

Handle:

Same weight and length bows also.

Can’t wait to get this Redman……

Hay, I’d like to see the comparison of the string nocks from the front too, if you don’t mind. Very interesting stuff!

Ok, the front can be a little deceiving because someone refinished the Schulz and put on horn overlays. John would never have done that as he did all he could to make the tips as light as possible:

Notice also how small the wedge between the lams is:

You should see some of the later bows John built. I have seen some tips next to pencils and dimes making them look huge. Really slender….

Here are a couple of some other fellas Schulz. Notice how small the tips are!:shock:

Thanks for the pictures! I like those small tips. It doesn’t seem like they should hold up, but they sure do.

I received my Redman in the mail last night. WOW!

It is a real shooter and although marked 58@28 it scaled out at 63@28. A little more mass than the bamboo Tembo with wider limbs at the fade but narrower tips.

I wonder how close together they were made?
