I've got my flame retardant suit on, so no worries... :smileystooges:
How many, if any, of you Schafer Silvertip shooters use a padded loop, D97 (or similar) string on your non-FF Tips? Anyone had a bow damaged that you could directly attribute to the string?
Been doing it for years, no problem, Use decent weight arrows and watch your nocks- don't want any dry fires.
i doubt you would have a problem as long as you pad the loops and use heavy arrows.
however.. personally, i wouldn't risk it. i think the bow is plenty fast without FF, and more quiet. i actually use dacron on my FF silvertip. just my preference...
Well, turns out to be a moot point anyway... I got the bow in the mail today, and I'm scrambling just to try to find some arrows stiff enough to shoot out of it (with the B50 string).
I see what all the fuss is about. This Silvertip is a sweeeeeettt shooter! Quiet, smooth, fast... no need to upgrade the string.

Thanks guys!
