Title: Look at what I got... ;-) Question about inserts...
Post by: Bowhunter4life on April 06, 2010, 09:30:00 PM
I've been "Jones'in" for a Schafer Silvertip for some time now...  Well, I finally found one, and it's all over but the $'s delivery, and shipment.

60", FF, 56# @ 28" (or right at 62# @ 30"), checkered medium grip, side quiver inserts, no name on it, antler tips, Quilted Maple veneers, 3 years old and in excellent condition.  I don't think I could have ordered it any better myself!

I've never owned one of their recurves, but have shot them, and they are shooters. The longbow I had was certainly a nice one. The craftsmanship is always impeccable. Enjoy your find.

I know you've been shooting a lot of Morrisons, which are awesome, but when you sink into the grip on this one you're gonna love it.
She's pretty for sure. Congrats!

Congrats Jeff! I suspect that there will be "the great sell off" of your other bows once you get that Silvertip in your hands  :)
Title: Re: Look at what I got... ;-) Question about inserts...
Post by: Bowhunter4life on April 07, 2010, 09:47:00 AM
Thanks fellas, can't wait to get it myself.

Oh, the "table" isn't mine...  ;)   These are the pics that made me "jump" on it and spend the $'s.

I still don't see the Morrison's going anywhere, actually they are kinda like rabbits.  Seems like everytime I look there is another one...  ;)

Hopefully I do like this Tip as much as I think I will... Might have to give Dave a shout and get another about 10# heavier... maybe woodland camo dymondwood w/crosscut veneers in the woodland camo actionwood, all black glass in the riser and black tips, and of course the medium checkered grip... Not that I've been thinking about it or anything...  ;)

Saw it when it was posted on Stickbow.  I already have one with 3 sets of limbs.  OR I would have jumped on this one.  My friends looked at it but decided to order new ones.  Dummies!  You got a heck of a deal and it is a great looking bow!

What sized inserts does Dave use as his standard?  Looking to get a Selway side mount and want to get the correct one...

Thanks all...

It's in the mail now, possibly Wednesday... and that just so happens to be my day off.  But, mail doesn't show up till late afternoon... If it doesn't make it till Thurs I'll have to pick it up on Fri at the PO... have to work on Thurs well Fri to for that matter.  Will have to make time to pick it up Fri if that is the case!   :readit:

Bow arrived today, looks even better than the pictures!

Side note: what is the recommended brace height of the 60" Silvertip Recurve?

That bow looks familiar, I may know one of it's previous owners. If that's the case, it,s a real sweet bow, in fact, I wanted to buy it!
