Ok...I'm not proclaiming this bow to be THE ultimate...that's a very individual matter. I think a Silvertip may be the ultimate bow for a lot of hunters however. With that in mind, here's some of the latest work to come out of the Schafer shop. Take a look...feel free to add your own pictures.
A personal thank you to Dave and Beth Windauer for outstanding craftsmanship, artistry and service!

Well, I've seen a LOT of Silvertips. That one right there is the top of the heap. Dave certainly has raised the bar compared to Paul's bows. I'll be happy with the 2nd nicest Tip :goldtooth:
Sweet bow...congrats!
She's a beauty for sure...but I'm with TJ.....You laid it on a bare rock !!!!!
Wow! Drop-dead gorgeous!
Beautiful bow! ;)
WOW iv seen a bunch of Silvertips and some fancy ones too, always had a soft stop for them, but that bow is the most impressive, outstanding piece of work yet
that is the Ultimate tip! enjoy!
It looks like Dave is changing the overall look of the Silvertip bow slightly. Very impressive bow.
That is a work of art .... absolutely a beauty. I'm trying to stop buying bows and your pictures are not helping me... :banghead:
Don't fight the voices Ken.
Yeah, I agree, that one IS the ultimate. Doubt you could top that anywhere.
