Title: Shafer one-piece
Post by: Shawn Leonard on January 05, 2008, 09:12:00 PM
Anyone got pics. I just picked one up in a trade and I am dying to know how they perform!! Are they cut past center, are they quiet and quick? Mine is one of Daves bows and id dacron only but from what I heard they are great bows. Any info would be great! Shawn

Mail it to me and I will let you know. With all that you have on your plate, you don't need another distraction.

I will find time to shoot it as soon as I get my shoulder surgery. I hope to shoot it next week, even if it kills me!  :bigsmyl:  Shawn

This 1 pc is one of the quickest tips I've owned, it was reasonably quiet, and pointed well. The only difference between the 1 pc and t/d is the overall mass wt IMO. They shoot very much the same.

Are they cut past center? I was wondering if they shoot a wide range of spine? Shawn

shawn,  i believe they are cut past center, exactly how much i don't know. they are very tolerant of a wide range of arrow spine. what are the spec's on your's??

either way, they are super bows. right now im using dacron on my silvertip (t/d) and it shoots plenty fast, stable and quiet. points well too....

good luck w/ it and congrats!!

mike

Mine is 60"s and 54#s at 28"s. It is Dacron only, and I will shoot a skinny string no more than 12 strands. It is Cocobola and actionboo cores with Yew veneers. It also has th echeckered grip. I should have it by weds. Shawn

Shawn, I had one that was identical to that bow, Bob Palmer now owns it. I've had a couple T/D Tips since and preferred the 1-pc. That's one of those bows that make you say... "Why did I trade that bow?" LOL. Enjoy!!!    Jr.

I have the take down and 57# and I have shot 70-85 spine and have always gotten good flight. I can see that it is cut past center but can't really tell ya how much. Probably a quick email to Beth with the serial # would tell. You won't have any trouble tunning.
 I did change the side plate to seal skin because the smooth leather made noise drawing the arrow across.

Those are some great looking bows! I love my TD, I'd love to compare how it shoots to a one piece.    :bigsmyl:
