Title: New Silvertip pix
Post by: ScottinPA on October 01, 2008, 07:49:00 PM
Well after about 11 months wait, it finally arrived today.  58" 74#@27".  

Not sure if I'll get out with it this year or not.  Changing bows right before the season doesn't seem like a good idea but we'll see when I shoot it tomorrow.  Sorry pix aren't the best.

great looking tip, I only have about 5 or 6 more months to get mine!!! How much did it cost to add the compass I kind of like that!

What wood is that in the wedges and what kind veneers does it have?  

Really a beautiful bow.  Like the colors.

Good Lookin' Bow.  How does she shoot?  I read you may not hunt it this year but you had to string up and shoot..? Right?  :D

Great looking bow.

Is Dave giving the option of the standard LimbBolt mounting option as well as the permanent limb bolt and removable Knob that you typically see?

My guess is osage for the limb wedges and stripe thru the riser. I have osages accents in my Silvertip and they looked similar. Nice bow and good luck with it!

Love the new accent stripe having a curve to it! Gives the riser a whole different look - I first thought your bow was a TD longbow. I have one ST with the original straight accent strip and one with the "wave".  :archer:

The stripe and wedges are amarillo, gray/black dymondwood, and the new curve.  Was going to go wave but thought it may be too much.  

Jeff, post a pic of your wave.

Yes, that's an option for the limb bolts.  Don't know how long they've offered.

Compass installation was $15 and I supplied the compass.

Scott,

Here it is. Don't remember what the various wave materials are, but the riser is the rosewood option.

It works, too!
