Title: There's just something about a Silvertip!
Post by: A.S. on March 23, 2017, 04:04:00 PM
I just added this beauty to by bow rack yesterday.  I have owned several of Dave's bows over the years, and ended up parting ways with them after I injured my elbow, and have always missed them. Paul designed such a great bow! They are great performers, and so stable (as many of you know).

Anyway, just thought I would show this one off.  It was a dream to tune up today.....just like all of my other Silvertips!   :jumper:

That's one sweet bow Allen! I've always wanted to own one myself just haven't had the right opportunity yet.

Jeff, I felt a LITTLE guilty taking time out from string building for customers today to build one for myself!  Just a little.....   :biglaugh:

Bisch, being a lefty has it's benefits.  Over the years, several of us lefties on here have became very good friends.  When we need to buy or sell a bow, we just pick up the phone!  That's how I ended up with this one.

The riser is Rosewood and Charcoal Dymondwood.  The limbs are stained rosewood and charcoal dymondwood also.  It's a really nice looking rig.

Nice Allen! I agree with you 100% , they shoot really good especially with one of your strings.
Congrats on your new bow.

Allen congrats on the find, I have seen a few lefties over the years but the weight was always a problem. One of these days
I hope to find one us old folks can shoot.

I know that bow- in fact I was thinking about it yesterday wondering what the owner was doing with it.  The limbs worked very nicely on my 19 inch riser.  Congrats Allen

Bill, I was going to call you today to talk about it.  You know where it is if you ever need it.  I'm never the guy who keeps a bow from it's "real" owner!  Anything for you Bill.

That looks nice. I have often thought that someday I will order one of the big 2 in my eyes (Blacktail of Silvertip). If my memory serves me you have both now? How do they compare?

Caleb, I don't have the Blacktail now.  The grip on it was causing pain in my right hand. That originates from the elbow injury that I suffered a few years ago.  I REALLY miss that bow!

Both are fantastic bows!

Allen your  Blacktail found a good home .  I have  both and it's pretty much a toss up as to how they shoot for me. Both are fantastic as Allen says.

Take good care of her Stan!  Yep, they both are fantastic bows.  I would definitely give the Blacktail the nod on aesthetics!

She's not going anywhere and neither are my Schafer's! Can't go wrong with either one.  Both look great and grips are different  but  either works for me. I would give a slight nod to the Schafer's checkered grip though.

Wow!! That is a beauty!! I was gonna ask who made the string......but I was late to this party....haha

BTW - The strings that you made me are great! And you are right, the "lefty" community is a fairly small one....looking thru this thread I see several lefties that I have dealt with numerous times over the years!!

Yep, I have both bought and sold bows that I had no intention of just because a friend on here called me up and wanted to make a deal!
