Wow! Yes he did it just like Howard Hill. And we should all be grateful to him for that, because he is passing the Torch of Howard Hill, and in the correct Howard Hill way. Thank you, Mr. John Shultz.
I've been shooting bad for years and have watched many videos where guys try to seek greatness in Howards footsteps, but if ya watch this and do like Mr Schultz says you can spot there mistakes and self glorification instantly, because they don't pay attention to what Mr. schultz is saying. Mr. Hill is perfection, Mr. Schultz shoots like Mr. Hill, what more can be said? After two days of trying to do exactly as Mr. Shultz tells it, which believe it or not is not that easy, I have improved 98%. From 3 0r 4 in a pie plate @ 25 yds to 8 out of 12 in jut 2 days. for me thats damn good.
My dad got started in the 50s because of the Howard Hill shows. I almost ordered a Shulz bow in the 80s. Now, after a 6 year archery hiatus, have started to make my own wood laminated longbow.🌞👍 Good for the soul.
Thanks for doing this, it is only style I teach, newbies always want to take my copies home with them, most of the time they never return them. Now I can just show them this. I have had a number of long conversations with John over the years. A truly fine man.
Mr Schultz, I was blessed at one point in my life to own and shoot one of your bows. One of my biggest regrets in life was letting it go because I needed money.
Thanks for sharing ! I have an older friend who owns a Shultz longbow from 1974 . He wont sell it at any price . I consider Myself lucky to have shot it !
Major drop in testosterone levels and direct attacks on every fascet of masculinity in the media and schools. It's terrible, im doing my best to teach kids to be boys and men.
Glad to see others notice. Look at who finances media, academia, and politicians. They want us weak. Hint - we send them billions of dollars, call them our greatest ally, and they occupy stolen land in the middle east.
Absolutely invaluable resource. I can't say enough how enjoyable this is to watch. I'm decent enough but always in awe when watching a master talk about a master and even showing us his little master bowman in action. It's a good one to show the kids 👍
The definitive instinct shooting/hunting style. Met John in Pa 28ish years ago. Have yet to see his equal in shooting ability. A true modern master of his sport and craft. His sons are awesome shots also as was demonstrated at the aforementioned Pa archery gathering.
I think this is my favorite part of information as an archery fan 21:13 so many people discuss about the nocking point, it is good to know how Howard Hill did it.
this man said so many things that would make todays archery instructors cringe. But yet the man was an absolute master of his craft. His accuracy is just unmatched unless your HH himself. Now, how could this be? Its insane the way archery mechanics have been modified and perfected since this time. Listening to these vintage exhibition style shooters talk just completely takes the shot process ive had preached to me throughout my entire life and makes me question it.
Absolutely. Even listen to another great, Byron Ferguson and he totally disagrees with the swing draw. What does this all prove? ... there is more than one way to Rome.
@John Gurzo no one cares what you think. Stick to the facts and what is recorded. As far as your obsession with heavy bows... Here are two facts that evade your capacity.. 1. Ferguson could indeed shoot 70, but that is a immature childish measure. 2. A 38# will equally kill a pig, deer, turkey. If you don't understand the kinetics of it... go back to school.
Thank you for putting this up! That was an informative 45 minutes. especially since I'm just getting into archery, nothing to unlearn to adopt this style! I'll never be hitting em like Howard but I bet I'll give the rabbit population hell
One of the most enjoyable days I've spent in archery was spent with John a couple years before he passed. Even in his eighties, John could knock the eyes out a gnat. RIP John, you're respected and missed!
This is fascinating and valuable, thank you very much for uploading. As I surf the net and learn about traditional archery, etc, I do think that a lot of the info in here is outdated, and much of the wisdom and great practises of ancient forms of archery have been unveiled and made more public knowledge, and are superior to some of the practises of Howard Hill as shown here (much faster ways of nocking and handling arrows have been found, for example). Nevertheless, fascinating video and information, and great to hear of these famous figures I knew nothing about previously! Many thanks.
My 2nd bow i owened was a John Shultz 4 lam myrtle wood handle gourgeous bow to look at bamboo 60lb won many a tournaments with it .I watch this on VSH till i wore the tape out ,contrbuted my style to both Howard Hill and John Shultz and pass the tecnique to my children and many of my students. Thnk you Howard and John and I know your both In heaven because you were both believers in Jesus Christ ,Shalom
Yes I bought a 73 LB bow from him. Back in the 80's. It was 86 lbs. I sent it back to him..I had it weighed in my city . It exactly weighed 86 lbs. He never corrected it.
13:50 I do the same thing though going downward with the bow due in part to my small size and I go to either below the Ear where the lobe would be if ear was that low and thumb is at the jaw corner or to the Corner of jaw depending on the bow length and poundage. 20:00 I try to do this for my bow since the rest is waisted movement in shooing quicker, if it does not work then sometimes I grip the arrow if they do not want to draw back However I let gravity take the arrow down since I pull downward with the bow due to my size and adult bows dragging on the ground if going the other way. I do more a Drop Draw but in similar fashion. 28:25 I also have done my entire bow shooing life the dual arrow and target/animal style when the bow is sans a sight of any kind. Sight I use the sight and the arrow, making sure the arrow is still tracking correct in the edge of sight.
There was a vcr, that said that was African safari if that is in a DVD or other movies in DVD of items that Howard Hill and events have I would really like to know what is available
Have to say, and no disrespect to the bowmen involved as the advice is great, but, the video production is _classic_ - those outfits, the slightly awkward hesitations, the syncronised turns to the camera... It's like a parody of itself... Like a scene from a Wes Anderson film. :-) Thanks for uploading.
Hunting an Being a great shot is two different things ,one helps u get close to game ,an outing meat in the freezer,the other helps u make a clean quick kill ,
I know Howard Hill had a VCR tape called Howard Hill African safari if you have that or if we can get a copy of that VCR and DVD I would be interested in purchasing 2 to 3 of them I don't know to contact you
These guys didn't worry about 3-under gap shooting or FOC or max arrow velocity or any of that stuff. They shot in a natural, comfortable way and were quick, smooth, and fluid and accurate too. It worked well for them back then and it works well today. You have to practice. If you don't like shooting enough to practice frequently then just get a compound bow and go shoot golf balls at 60 yards.
Yeah it's weird... there is a lof of talk about technique from most archers here on RU-vid but none talking about actually practicing and how much time you might want to spend. When I first got into pistol shooting I was not "good" until I put at least 5000 rounds down range. Now that costs a lot of money and time. Being that archery is significantly more difficult I imagine it's going to be double or triple... no one talks about shooting 15,000 arrows.
Ishi and Geronimo we’re better hunters and bow maker’s just saying saxton pope literally stole all of the yahí and Klamath people’s bow technology and other great indigenous archers and taught guys like Fred bear and Howard hill not including indigenous people on the bows and archery style that’s a love letter to them is appropriation without appreciation but it’s a cool vid very informative either way
Baiting animals with food, climing onto a tree and waiting for animals to come and eat to kill them, that is a killer not a hunter. A hunter kills because of need not for fun. Sadly because of rich bastards and corrupt who drove to extinction so many animals. In so many countries hunting is banned. Mostly because there isn't anything to hunt anymore. So sad... I love bows and arrows, i've played with them since i was a kid. Never hunted animals with it because i never had to. I am simply too "soft" to end another life. I lived on the country side for a while as a kid. The forest was 200 meters away from my house, a deep tall forest. In the morning you could see on rare ocasions a deer with her little ones coming out from the forest just a little bit to enjoy the sun. 200 meters away if you tap a pice of wood just slightly, she could hear you, i was really amaized by what a hearing that animal has... If i was starving, not even then i could kill one... Plus that, is pretty hard to die of hunger near a forrest like that.
How is climbing onto a tree and waiting for animals to kill them is not hunting? Not everyone is hunting for fun only. Today's world the food is basically crap in all stores, if you can hunt your own food why wouldn't you do it?
@@abseil76 just a bit unsporting isn’t it? Would want to go out like a punk? I think if you’re hunting you should do so with humility and humanity, and make sure your skill and equipment are good enough to take the animal as quickly as possible. Also if you don’t want your meat to be crap buy organic from a local butcher, not cheap stuff.
@@yeahey5947 Unsporting? It's not really a sport if you hunt for food, is it? Fishermen are baiting their game all the time even if they are only fishing for sport. 🤷If you believe that all the more expensive meat is coming from reliable sources than you are really naive. The local butcher's meat is only reliable if it's in the countryside somewhere and he buys it from trusted local farmers. Organic stores in cities take you for a fool any day with their products.
