Title: New to me Silvertip's- 1 piece
Post by: limbow on January 29, 2010, 12:37:00 PM
Came across a 58" 1 piece and was really impressed. I offered up one of my Silvertip t/d curves to try and entice someone to trade there 60" 1 piece--No such luck.

I happened to stumble across this 60" 1 piece Silvertip. I hope traveling with a 1 piece to Elk country is not too much trouble because I think I just found my hunting companion     :D     --The simplicity of a 1 piece and the lines it has to offer are simply stunning to me--And boy do they shoot. My first trad robinhood came a few weeks back with my 58"--The third arrow out of this 60" produced another--The fine smell of fresh cut cedar  :)  Thanks Mike!

For those who like to shoot a recurve, you owe it to yourself to wrap your hands around a 1 piece Silvertip!

Mike,

The 58" bow is rosewood dymondwood with juniper veneers, antler tips and on the front of the riser.  The 60" bow is Cocobolo with a chechen accent stripe and camphor burl veneers with Kudu tips. The grips on both scream "Silvertip" ! I like them   :)

A bunch of us, let's see....how do I want to put this...."ol' timers"...grew up with nothing but one piece bows.  Mostly Fred's bows.  Along with Herters, etc. etc.  I can't remember the first time I saw a take-down (must be a senior moment).  

Nostalgia aspect aside, there is nothing more soothing to my eyes than a simple, graceful one piece.

I have one of Dale Dye's one piece bows that he built in 1986.  Can't think of any reason that it will ever leave my possession.....at least until I'm gone!

BTW - saying that the 60" Silvertip is stunning is an understatement.  Since it shoots as good as it looks, I can see why it's your favorite.  Best of luck to ya if you decide to take it for a tour of elk country.

Thanks for sharing those! I've got an order for a one-piece bubbling away; it should be here by August or September, in time for some last piggy hunts before the next wet.
